Our USP's

HANDS ON PRACTICAL APPROACH

Not just another spreadsheet buyer!

Getting stuck in on the shop floor and supporting businesses by looking around the edges and in the ‘dirty corners’, the areas regularly missed due to time constraints or a lack of specific knowledge.

No Win No Fee

Working for a % of the savings, there are no day rates or hidden costs.

If we do not save you money… you do not pay us.

PASSION (+ EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE)

Looking at the areas regularly missed on the day to day with enthusiasm and energy, our enjoyment comes from succeeding to make customers more profitable.

We believe in thinking differently and challenging the status quo.

The result, savings which directly affect the P&L accounts, and efficiencies at ground level.


Experience

Procurement

cips logo

CIPS studies and qualifications have been invaluable over the years, however the experience gained in the last 25 years and the vast network built up over those years are equally, if not more valuable. The knowledge passed down by the many ‘experts in their field’ are what have brought the successful specialist services of Hart Procurement today.

Getting the best deal for our customers is of the upmost importance, but forging lasting and for filling supplier relationships, guarantees long-term sustainable supply, based on a lasting competitive advantage. We always gain knowledge and feedback from suppliers to challenge and improve the quality and supply.

Product management

Looking not just at the total cost of a product, but how it is made and used in a set environment. Our practical approach often means redundant components can be stripped out or features and quality added into a product, all whilst reducing the cost or increasing the products longevity.

Health and Safety, NEBOSH

Clients

Manufacturing and Distribution Specialist

SPECIALISING IN MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES, WORKING WITH SMALL, SME, AND LARGE (FTSE100) COMPANIES.
Experience shows that most manufacturers have their top 20 purchases (or main production products) nailed down to the best deal, but indirect products, such as packaging and PPE, are usually not focused on so heavily due to time constraints or a lack of specialist knowledge. I support businesses and procurement teams by looking around the edges and in the dirty corners, the areas left unchecked due to time constraints or lack of specific knowledge.
