RAY’S NEW RECRUITS<br />

Aaron Griffiths<br />

Aaron joined us in May as a<br />

Sub Contract Buyer. With<br />

a background in rail including<br />

the retail side, gas <strong>and</strong> the<br />

petrochemical industries Aaron<br />

decided to move to a main<br />

contractor to extend his role in<br />

procurement.<br />

Since joining us he has worked<br />

closely with all members of<br />

the procurement team here <strong>and</strong><br />

continues to be involved with the<br />

Lot 7 project on the North West<br />

Cambridge Development.<br />

Aaron recently wrote <strong>and</strong> delivered a presentation on Farrans <strong>and</strong> the process in joining<br />

our supply chain at the Nottingham meet the buyer event which was well received by<br />

delegates. He is currently working through the modules for the CIPS (Chartered Institute of<br />

Procurement <strong>and</strong> Supply) qualifications.<br />

Nathan Lund<br />

Nathan joined the team in May as an Assistant buyer in April. Following formative years with<br />

Toyota, Nathan seized the opportunity to work in motorsport where he spent time travelling<br />

around the world as a mechanic for Aston Martin.<br />

Nathan’s practical background has served him well as he has taken to the role in material <strong>and</strong><br />

plant purchasing very quickly. Although Nathan has been involved in purchasing for all of the<br />

live sites since he joined Farrans his biggest challenge was the Harris Free school in East Dulwich<br />

which completed on time despite having an extremely tight programme.<br />

The site management team were really impressed how Nathan was able to meet their needs<br />

given the limited amount of time he has spent in the role. More recently he has delivered<br />

presentations to a number of sites on reinforcing the procedures <strong>and</strong> good practice of material<br />

<strong>and</strong> plant requisitions to enable efficiency in delivery.<br />

We welcome Nathan to the team, <strong>and</strong> look forward to seeing him progress<br />

his future career at Farrans.<br />

We are delighted to have Aaron as part of the team <strong>and</strong> wish him all the<br />

very best for his future here at Farrans.
