SKILLS
ABOUT PENNY TAYLOR
Skilled at approaching procurement from a different angle with innovation and flexibility, I am focused on building relationships across functional teams, removing the ‘stove pipe’ attitude. My appreciation and respect for the importance of relationships in order to achieve maximum results is demonstrated by my experience in cultivating trust to open up connections and build long term networks. Joining the dots for each stakeholder in the process means the optimal outcome can be achieved.Utilising my extensive knowledge and experience across a broad range of functions and industries; facilities management, environmental services, travel, blue light, local authority, health and education, has provided a strong foundation in order to share best practices and ideas to explore. Curious, inquisitive, I will seek out challenges and identify possible solutions, collaborating with stakeholders to progress with an agreed course of action.My adaptability to both the scenario and stakeholders, means I can enable them to obtain the best value outcome - monetarily, service level or through other forms of efficiency savings. Taking a strategic view of the overall business, I care for the organisation in its whole and for its continued success.I am seeking a role in within Public Sector, Facilities Management, Utilities, Construction or Sustainability.
