Background

About Paul Warren

Balancing structure, cost and quality while introducing new technological solutions has been a key lesson in my career and a foundation for my success in supporting sophisticated businesses, elite sports teams and projects from concept through maturity.Having played an integral role in 6 F1 Driver & Constructor World Championships, and having been an independent procurement and planning consultant where it’s up to me to make everything happen, I bring a unique perspective to technical and commercial leadership. I understand the urgency of business-critical projects and the pushback to “do it right” – I am not one to sit at a desk all day. In fact, I am often seen collaborating with group leaders, manufacturing teams and logistics providers.Besides being a qualified Mechanical Engineer, I have been successful within Technical Buyer and Procurement Support roles. I am keen to continue a solid track record of overcoming supplier manufacturing capability and sourcing of specialised materials, components and services. I can comfortably liaise with vendors, negotiate prices, plan delivery dates and enforce quality standards. I pride myself in delivering parts not only on time but in the most cost-effective way.Based in Milton Keynes, I am well-positioned to support a wide range of technologically sophisticated clients on a project by project basis or overcome longer-term operational objectives.I am eager to connect with like-minded individuals & specialist technical recruiters to share fresh ideas & ideally lead me to my next Support, Materials Management, Sourcing Plans & DocumentationInventory Control, International Logistics, Supplier experience: Manufacturing, Motorsport, Elite Sailing, Cycling, Medical, Rail & Aerospace
