LHC Procurement Group makes four senior hires

National framework provider LHC Procurement Group has strengthened its leadership team with four senior appointments as it enters its next phase of growth.

Nicola Stewart has been appointed regional director for the South West Procurement Alliance, while Elizabeth Jones takes on the role of regional director for the Welsh Procurement Alliance.

Nicola said: “I’m keen to build on LHC Procurement Group’s strong foundations in the South West.

“Through SWPA we will grow into new sectors and champion a fair, consistent journey for suppliers of every size. 

“By listening to clients, partnering with industry and simplifying the route to market, we can accelerate delivery and support local growth.”

Elizabeth added: “I want to help public bodies buy well, create clear routes for Welsh SMEs onto WPA frameworks and build social value into everyday delivery.

“As a team we will continue to listen to local priorities, support energy efficiency for the people of Wales, and partner with principal contractors to mentor smaller firms. 

“This will ensure more organisations can deliver projects on time and within budget.”

At the group’s Uxbridge head office, Jon Durant has joined as director of IT and transformation and Giorgio Burani as director of finance.

Jon added: “What attracted me to LHCPG was its public purpose and the opportunity to help the organisation scale its impact.

“IT should solve real problems for real people, and my focus is on practical transformation that does this while making colleagues’ lives easier.”

Giorgio added: “LHCPG is on a transformation journey, and this role lets me put my end-to-end finance experience to work.

“By strengthening purchasing and finance processes, and building on an already strong team, we can run smarter and reinvest more back into the communities we serve.”

The new appointments bring experience across infrastructure, public sector procurement, digital transformation and finance as LHC Procurement Group continues to expand its support for public sector clients through its procurement frameworks.
