Testimonials

Graham Collier's background in the food and drink sector and specifically in the field of public sector procurement has contributed enormously to our project, which sets out to facilitate the supply of sustainable food and drink into local authorities, hospitals and other public sector bodies. We have used his facilitation and training skills in several support events - workshops and seminars - with suppliers and buyers where his insight and practical approach proved invaluable to delegates. Graham has also developed and delivered workshop and seminar content on public sector supply, which has formed the content of three guidance booklets for suppliers that we have published. His contribution and teamwork has been hugely important in helping us to achieve our goals. Judith Ward. South West Public Sector Food Procurement Project Manager, South West Food and Drink
