ABOUT MICHAEL CHAPMAN
Since working as a procurement team leader for an IT infrastructure and services provider I have developed a strong passion for people management, supplier engagement and the supply chain process. Having gained a vast portfolio of experience within a dynamic procurement team, I’m now looking for an exciting new role where I can utilise my current skill set, develop my knowledge further and build on my current strengths. My development through the procurement team at Softcat aids my ability to adapt to new situations and learn new skills quickly, whilst also benefiting from leading a team, working within a team and using my own initiative.
