John C Little MCIPS Procurement & Operations Specialist

With over 45 years of experience in procurement and operations management, working for major USA corporations both in UK, Europe and the USA. I specialised in streamlining supply chain processes, driving cost efficiency, and building strategic supplier relationships. My expertise spans contract negotiation, vendor management, and operational excellence, ensuring seamless collaboration between cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led procurement initiatives that have reduced costs, optimised sourcing strategies, and improved operational performance. My data-driven approach ensured that procurement decisions aligned with organisational goals while maintaining high standards of quality and compliance. In addition, I was adept at managing complex supply chains and ensuring timely delivery in fast-paced automotive and electronics environments.

My passion now lies in mentoring and tutoring the new intake of procurement professionals.

As a strong advocate for innovation, I focus on implementing best practices and leveraging technology to enhance procurement processes to achieve student goals.
