WORK HISTORY

ABOUT DARREN CRAVEN

Running a business is demanding enough without your time and headspace being consumed by supplier relationships, spending disputes and procurement decisions that shouldn’t land on your desk.That’s the problem I solve.I founded Synergy Procurement Solutions to give leadership teams back the time, clarity and mental space to focus on what actually matters, growing and running their business.For nearly 16 years, I’ve worked with well-known brands across the UK to bring clarity, control and commercial rigour to the areas of spend that matter financially but distract from running the business. Indirect spend. Non-core activity. The stuff that quietly erodes margin.We take ownership of that activity, supplier relationships, structure, spend visibility, so leadership teams don’t have to.The result? Fewer suppliers. Clearer accountability. Decisions based on data rather than habit.To date, that work has delivered over £92 million in savings for our clients, and counting.We work best with CEOs, CFOs and leadership teams who are serious about getting this right but don’t have the time or internal resource to do it themselves. If you’re navigating growth, a restructure, or simply frustrated by fragmented supplier relationships and unclear spend — that’s where we come in.Happy to connect.
