"Richard was brought in to set up a group-wide sourcing programme where there had been none, improving data and collaboration, and delivering impressive savings the first year and hiring a small but capable team, including his permanent successor. With his professionalism and extensive experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to call on him again for such an assignment."
Joe Vorih, CEO Genuit Group plc
