Maxine has a strong, solid background in purchasing and supply chain management and is fully conversant with modern procurement and purchasing techniques. She is an experienced people manager who can provide support, guidance and professional procurement advice to colleagues who need it. In the past she has carried out procurement activity effectively, and with her present company has always been at the centre of all buying decisions. Her key skills include; continually improving purchasing methods, sourcing the best priced goods or services, and having the gravitas needed to act as an ambassador for a company. Right now she would like to work for a company that knows that the best people are hard to find and is willing to be more than flexible when it comes to salaries and employment packages for them.
