Purchasing Consolidation - Print Services

We carried out a Strategic review for a leading UK based specialist-printing company. Our client had recently doubled in size through the acquisition of a large printing operation and wanted to exploit the Purchasing leverage and synergy. Following our review, we concluded that Purchasing should be centralised under a senior Purchasing specialist and a comprehensive supplier rationalisation programme be undertaken. We estimated that savings in excess of £2m (3.5%) were obtainable within the first 12 months. We supported recruitment of the new Head of Purchasing and provided mentoring following appointment. Most of our recommendations were successfully achieved - including the cost savings.
