The companies that form the group are Nimlok Limited (http://www.nimlok.co.uk)
All of the companies manufacture exhibition stand display equipment on site and also have approved suppliers across the globe, each having their own purchasing manager to control this. The group plan to consolidate their purchasing team is commencing now as newly appointed Roger Pettit has been brought in as Group Sourcing Director to do just that.
Roger has over 25 years experience in global sourcing, working with high street names including Marks & Spencer and Coach Handbags.
Based in Hong Kong, Roger has a portfolio of suppliers second to none and his reputation for quality and hard negotiation was well established. He returned to the UK to be closer to his family and the position of Global Sourcing Director for Nimlok was attractive as it offered a chance to exploit his experience whilst spending time split between the far east and UK.
He comments “Having the opportunity to coordinate the buying power of the Nimlok Group as well as the challenge to develop the purchasing systems is so exciting. I am looking forward to working closely with the factories in Asia to help the Nimlok Group develop more corporate ways of purchasing. I hope to bring the benefits of my experience in Asia, coaching and mentoring to the suppliers and sourcing teams within the Group, as well as in Asia, to broaden their skills and improve quality of product and service”.
