Robert Stearn
Associate | Expense Reduction Analysts
Folkestone, UNITED KINGDOM
Experienced business consultant and speaker; specialising in cost, purchase and supplier management.
Biography
Awarded the title "Consultant of the Year 2010".
Previously, 33 years sales management experience, in a variety of roles, for 4 blue-chip FMCG companies, has given given me the skill set to develop my current business.
My current role involves meeting MDs & FDs who are interested in exploring whether we can work together in a mutually beneficial way. This discussion is facilitated through the presentation of a tailored "Cost Reduction and Control" proposal, at no cost or obligation.
These cost reductions are delivered through the application of our unrivalled leverage and expertise in over one hundred different areas of overhead expenditure.
The savings, which average almost 20%, are achieved without compromising the quality of the goods or services purchased and, more often than not, without changing suppliers.
