I have known Stuart for many years and worked together at M&S Money. We both benefited from the training offered albeit in different disciplines. On a professional note Stuart really knows his onions. Procurement and supply chain management is a complex business but Stuart has. Knack of unravelling the technicalities into language you can understand. With a passion for ethical practices and building social value benefits I would happily recommend his skills as a consultant.
