Proud to contribute to something meaningful

We welcomed Rosie Beckford to the team earlier in the year. She is a Procurement & Contracts Officer, working for Consortium Procurement, our commercial arm which delivers compliant, practical, and efficient procurement for public sector organisations.

Rosie shares her experience so far.

 

What attracted you to your role?

I really enjoy the variety of the role – no day or procurement solution is the same and it is very important to me to work in an environment where I am continuously learning.

I am proud to work for Consortium Procurement and Northern Housing Consortium – they have a brilliant organisational model, and I feel like I am contributing towards something meaningful.

 

Describe your typical day?

I work with members to manage the call–off process for frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems.

 

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

The most valuable thing you can give someone is your time.

 

What do you like to do to switch-off?

I’m always content curled up with a book, a cup of tea and my cat. I also love long walks and spending time in nature.

 

How would you sum up working for the NHC and Consortium Procurement, in three words?

Interesting, positive, collaborative.
