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.
