We are delighted to welcome our keynote speaker, Paul Doherty, Procurement Director at Heathrow Airport, who is actively seeking West Midlands businesses to join their supply chain at one of the world’s busiest transport hubs.

Our other guest speakers include: Paul Timmins, Head of Procurement at Staffordshire County Council and Nathan Joy-Johnson, Group Director of Procurement at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust. Together, these experts oversee more than £1 billion in procurement contracts.
You'll also hear from Sarah Colclough, Bid Writing Expert at Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, who will provide top tips for creating compelling bids that stand out from the competition.
