• Speaking with suppliers, placing orders, and following up on deliveries
• Renegotiating prices and reviewing supplier terms
• Raising and processing purchase orders
• Tracking lead times and maintaining accurate records on Excel and Sage
• Supporting general procurement activity and keeping stock information up to date
