Programme Management

Holmes Place

Matthew Kearslake has managed a wide variety of procurement change, including a two year project for a client in California USA. So he was an ideal choice when the Holmes Place leisure clubs business (now a part of Virgin Active) wanted rapid and effective delivery of a wide range of new commercial terms identified as a part of our Purchasing Strategy Review process.

Matthew quietly set about working with the existing procurement manager, and all of the key budget holders to deliver over half a million pounds in annualised improvement, together with improved supplier performance, and lower costs of trading. Much of this came from a rigorous review of specifications linked to rationalisation of products purchased, ideal territory for Matthew’s passion for detail. And Holmes Place not only reduced their costs significantly and quickly, they delivered a more consistent product to their customer too.
