ABOUT
  ProQuest Consulting 
  With many organisations now spending 60% or 
  more of their revenue externally the need for 
  outstanding procurement and commissioning 
  performance has never been greater. 
  We believe that success is defined by those who 
  are able to identify the wider commercial needs of 
  their organisations and engage with the external 
  market in preferential ways.
  This cuts across traditional silos and encourages us 
  think more widely about all of those who influence 
  commercial outcomes, and how their skills, 
  behaviour and expertise come together 
  dynamically around what needs to be done.

Graham Collins FCIPS - Owner and 
  Director
  I  
  founded  
  my  
  company  
  13  
  years  
  ago  
  after  
  working 
  at  
  senior  
  levels  
  within  
  large  
  organisations  
  including 
  Diageo,   
  Unilever,   
  JP   
  Morgan   
  and   
  the   
  National 
  Australia  
  Bank.  
  A  
  big  
  step  
  after  
  so  
  many  
  years  
  in 
  corporate  
  life  
  -  
  but  
  one  
  that  
  would  
  allow  
  me  
  to 
  shape  
  and  
  do  
  business  
  exactly  
  as  
  I  
  wanted.  
  Being 
  passionate  
  about  
  procurement  
  and  
  commissioning 
  may  
  seem  
  rather  
  odd  
  -  
  but  
  at  
  its  
  core  
  is  
  the  
  ability 
  of    
  organisations    
  to    
  work    
  together    
  to    
  deliver 
  exceptional   
  results.   
  Something   
  frustratingly   
  that 
  most  
  talk  
  warmly  
  about  
  but  
  in  
  reality  
  struggle  
  to 
  do.  
  So  
  that's  
  where  
  I  
  come  
  in  
  -  
  or  
  rather  
  where  
  my 
  business  
  does.  
  Creating  
  the  
  right  
  mix  
  of  
  capability 
  plus  
  the  
  mindset  
  and  
  the  
  framework  
  for  
  joined-up 
  action.
