What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on procurement or warehouse role where I can optimize inventory, reduce costs, and improve supply operations within a collaborative team.

I am a Procurement, Stores, and Warehouse Management professional with extensive experience across hospitality, facilities management, logistics, and manufacturing sectors. I focus on inventory control, vendor management, logistics coordination, and cost control to improve operational efficiency.

Throughout my career I have implemented inventory and labeling systems, conducted market surveys and stock takes, and enforced FIFO and safety procedures. At East African Breweries Ltd I reorganized warehouse inventory and introduced space-saving and automation measures that significantly boosted handling efficiency.

I have strong experience using Sage ERP for receiving and issuing, preparing purchase orders, and producing cost reports. I have also managed petty cash and bookkeeping, recovered outstanding debts, and converted paper records to electronic systems to improve accuracy and retrieval times.

I bring a practical, results-oriented approach to procurement and stores functions, emphasizing vendor relationships, accurate record-keeping, and operational improvements that reduce costs and enhance service delivery.
