Procurement For All expands team as it announces record member spend

Procurement For All has appointed four members of staff to its growing team as it announces record member spend.

The organisation, which is run by a consortium of six housing associations and has 21 landlord members in total, released £48 million worth of work through its 14 frameworks last year.

It welcomes Martin Ellicott and Katie Mullings as Procurement Officers and Lee Williams and Edward Roughley as Procurement Administrators to the growing team based in Manchester as it looks to further expansion this year.

Ellicott joins from Procurement for Housing where he held a similar role for two years. As part of his new position with the procurement body, Ellicott will be supporting the framework and mini-competition services. 

While Mullings will oversee the procurement consultancy division of the organisation, with current projects valued at more than £200 million. She joins the team from Top Right Group, which is the parent company of EMAP and Glenigan, where she held the role of Account Manager almost two years.

Procurement For All’s frameworks cover small works, cyclical repairs and new build works across the UK and it offers bespoke procurement consultancy services to the public sector. 

Keith Armstrong, Managing Director of Procurement For All, said: “I am delighted to welcome Martin, Katie, Edward and Lee to the team as we continue to grow.

“Last year we released a record £48 million worth of work through our frameworks, saving our members £8 million.

“Our success is our members’ saving and it is a testament to the hard work of our team that we can expand and continue to offer great value frameworks to our customers.”

Ellicott said: “Procurement For All has an excellent reputation in the market and is well-respected by is member housing associations.

“I am looking forward to working with Keith and the team to ensure that we can announce further growth in 2015 and work closely with our members to continue to deliver savings on their contracts.”
