Our Team

With over 25 years experience in procurement solely within the public sector, my aim as Chief Executive is to lead with a clear focus on value, innovation and sustainable growth. I am passionate about strong governance, collaboration and our commitment to social value and drive the team to deliver the best services possible. My leadership approach is grounded in compassion and kindness, and believe that strong, people-centred leadership enables teams to thrive. I am proud to lead a talented and committed team, and guide the company through our next phase of growth and development, building on our strong foundations and core purpose.

Joining EEM in 2015 I have seen the membership grow exponentially in the last 7 years and the EEM team evolve to be a strong and well-established team. Within my current role as Head of Operations I will continue to support and expand the EEM team to ensure our service delivery meets and exceeds the high standards that our members require, whilst ensuring our aims and values are at the heart of everything we do.

I joined EEM in 2023 after 20 years working within various roles in the Fire Service and Education sector. I now oversee the Finance, Compliance and Marketing areas of the business.

My background is private sector buying roles before I moved into working in Public Sector Procurement in 2013. I was pleased to join EEM in 2015 and in my role as Head of Procurement I am responsible for leading the delivery of a compliant, transparent, efficient, and high-quality procurement service for EEM Members. This includes ensuring our Frameworks and Dynamic Markets remain relevant, innovative, and aligned with evolving needs. The role holds overall accountability for the performance and management of the Procurement Team and as a key member of the leadership plays a vital role in supporting the Chief Executive in achieving the organisation’s strategic vision and corporate objectives.

I joined EEM in 2023 after working for local government for over 8 years working in various roles including Procurement and Contracts Management. As an Assistant Procurement Officer within EEM I support members in undertaking mini competitions, ensuring value for money is achieved and regulations are adhered to. I also assist in developing new DPS's and Frameworks for our members to use. I'm excited to work alongside such a hardworking and knowledgeable team whilst developing my experience in Procurement.

As a Procurement Officer, I run mini-competitions and create frameworks that help members get the best value, improve efficiency, and stay compliant with regulations. My previous experience in private sector procurement has strengthened my commercial insight which I now apply to delivering best value and compliance in the public sector for our members. I’m excited to continue working with members to make procurement efficient and fully aligned with the opportunities the Procurement Act 2023 brings.

I recently joined EEM and procurement is new to me, but the support from the team at EEM has been second to none. I’m exciting to get stuck in and learn everything there is to know. My background is in Sales and Purchasing, but at EEM as an Assistant Procurement Officer, I will aid the rest of the team in developing mini competitions, DPSs and Frameworks.

I am here to gain hands-on experience, explore the ins and outs of procurement in the public sector, and work towards achieving a Procurement & Supply Level 3 qualification.

I have worked in a variety of sectors (including Engineering, Social Housing Finance, and Further Education Funding) so you may say my path to EEM has been a bendy one! In all my roles I have Excelled at Excel (and other data applications) for data interpretation, analysis and management. Having joined EEM in February 2016 I have brought this insight to support our members, contractors and the EEM team to identify savings and efficiencies in the materials, services and work we do.

I joined EEM in April 2021 after a 15-year career with a Tier 1 contractor, taking on the newly created role of Supply Chain Manager. The opportunity to help expand the materials side of the business was an exciting prospect and remains so. My role focuses on building strong relationships with manufacturers, merchants, and members to deliver value-driven materials solutions through our frameworks and support members during live contracts.

I joined EEM in 2024 as a Pricing and Data Officer. I have worked in various sectors including local government, healthcare and security. My role at EEM is to analyse and interpret data, producing various reports for our members, merchants and manufacturers. I also evaluate pricing tenders for all frameworks and review / amend existing price files based on annual price increases. I build relationships with our members, contractors and merchants to ensure continued support and management to deliver best price.

I joined EEM in 2024 after eight years working in accounts across the fire, security and electrical sectors. Since then, I’m delighted to have progressed to Senior Finance and Business Support Officer. In my role, I’ve enjoyed helping to strengthen EEM’s financial procedures and supporting the organisation through an exciting period of growth. I’m passionate about driving efficiency, keeping our financial processes running smoothly and contributing to EEM’s mission to deliver high-quality, not-for-profit procurement solutions. I’m really looking forward to continuing to support the company’s journey and seeing where we go next.

I am completing a Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship with DBC training. My main focus is providing administrative support across the business, as well as helping at events, setting up for meetings, and assisting the team wherever needed to ensure everything runs smoothly.
