Head of Procurement - Asahi Uk @Asahi UK

London, GB

At Asahi UK, I lead the Procurement team with a focus on making things clearer, simpler, and more effective for the business.Highlights include- Growing the team’s capability by bringing in new talent, coaching juniors, and helping colleagues build confidence in their roles- Moving away from “price squeeze” discussions towards smarter, sustainable solutions — looking at specifications, materials, and processes to deliver long-term value- Negotiating and delivering projects that unlocked millions in savings while protecting quality and supplier relationships- Introducing frameworks and regular conversations that improved how we work with stakeholders, making Procurement feel like a partner rather than a gatekeeper- Balancing the needs of the global function with local business priorities so the UK team could focus on what mattered most.What I’ve enjoyed most is the mix of problem-solving, coaching others, and building trust across the business.
