Ep 23: Procurement is For Everyone ft Adele Bleakley #LoveProcurement
RELEASED 01/07/2025
The categories procurement manages are as varied as the stakeholders they work with and the suppliers they buy from. But that does not mean learnings from one category, or industry even, can’t be transferred from one to another. In fact, when the objective is value creation, this may be the very advantage that allows procurement to succeed.
In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Kelly Barner is joined by Adele Bleakley. Adele is a Procurement Manager for Sainsburys and was recently recognized as the ‘Highly Commended – Young Talent’ winner at the 2024 CIPS Excellence in Procurement & Supply awards.
Adele answers questions about:
- Her procurement experience that varies from work in automotive direct materials sourcing to retail marketing spend
- How she collaborates with the business to manage suppliers in a category that is more value than savings focused
- Her passion for finding new ways of working in procurement
