Bovis Lend Lease UK - Procurement Head is elected as Chartered
Institute Vice Chair
Nigel McKay, Head of Procurement at
Bovis Lend Lease UK, has been elected to the position of
Vice Chair of the Construction Procurement Group, a
special interest group (SIG) at the Chartered Institute
of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS).
Nigel has taken up the immediate position for a three
year tenure, following approval from the Construction
Procurement Group management team this month with the
aim of taking over the chairmanship of the group in 2010
as is customary for past vice chairs.
His appointment not only reinforces his procurement
expertise, but also recognises Bovis Lend Lease’s
contribution to raising the standards of supply chain
management across the industry. In his new role, Nigel’s
immediate agenda is to set a new vision and direction
for the 800+ members of the group and to tackle the
current challenges of sustainability and scarcity of
supply leading up to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games.
He said: “I am delighted to have been elected to this
position and I hope I can bring a broad perspective to
the work I will do with the CIPS, drawing on my 30 years
of supply chain management experience. I am particularly
interested in the financial influence that major
contractors can use to work with the supply chain and
help both parties to grow their businesses. The industry
needs to work together to focus on long term
relationships and partnering in order to cope with the
increasing demands on resources over the coming years.”
Murray Coleman, CEO of Bovis Lend Lease UK, commented:
“This is great news and I congratulate Nigel. His
appointment shows that our senior management are
recognised as being industry leaders and as we continue
to push the boundaries in procurement, we hope to be
able to pass our experience and best practice onto the
construction industry via the CIPS.”
