In 2012, Severn Trent Water Supply Chain and Procurement selected NewDawn Partners to implement a programme to enable them to be more commercially astute in dealing with the supply chain and procurement issues. This multi-faceted programme involved training the individuals, providing a toolkit for the SC&P team to use and updating the Category Management Manual. The aim of this set of programmes is to create greater awareness of the opportunities, and a step change in performance, for the STW SC&P team in terms of commerciality, strategic thinking and category management.
Peter Williams, Capital Supply Chain Manager, says “In line with our strategic goals, we need a SC&P team that has a good understanding of how global market’s work, keeps up to date with current global financial movements, can advise on social & economic drivers that can impact on business and supply chain decisions, is accomplished in a comprehensive range of commercial models, and is able to coach other parts of the organisation in these skills. NewDawn were selected as the best company to provide this training for us and designed and implemented a first class programme”.
