ABOUT JOSH BANKS
Chartered MCIPS Procurement Leader | Driving Savings, Strategy I’m a Chartered MCIPS procurement professional with 8 years’ experience spanning construction, real estate, facilities management (hard & soft), corporate & professional services, and technology. My career is built on delivering measurable savings, shaping category strategies, leading high-performing teams, and equipping others through training on strategic sourcing and category management. My approach to procurement is built on three principles:1. Master the fundamentals – Procurement exists FIRST AND FOREMOST to optimise third-party cost and manage supply chain risk. Once those are nailed, we can talk about added value with credibility. Be a business consultant, not just a buyer – I challenge stakeholders to think beyond the supply side, combining process and demand levers for holistic value creation. Business first, Procurement second – Procurement should be an enabler and trusted partner, aligning to business priorities rather than expecting the reverse.
