&lt;p&gt;Hello.&amp;nbsp;I&amp;rsquo;m Simon Frost&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;​My mission is to re-energise procurement and supply chain teams&amp;nbsp;to unlock amazing sustainable value - from cost savings and improved supplier relationships&amp;nbsp;to streamlined supply networks and procurement led innovation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Several years ago, I noticed that many procurement teams&amp;nbsp;were lacking flair and not always performing to their full potential. Furthermore, procurement consultants were getting mixed reviews, maybe delivering solid results but imparting few procurement skills with their clients. Spotting this opportunity, I set up my business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When it comes to the way I work, my ethos is simple. I don&amp;rsquo;t just deliver the fish - I also teach people how to catch them. In this way I&amp;rsquo;ll lock the skills we learn into the DNA of your business ensuring&amp;nbsp;continued benefits long after I&amp;#39;ve gone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;rsquo;t do dull. I don&amp;rsquo;t use complex jargon or claim phoney cost savings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I do energy, adventure, hard work and excellent results.&lt;/p&gt;

The jewellery entrepreneur supporting women fleeing domestic violence

Judy Chicangana is the founder of jewellery brand Delmora™.

&lt;p&gt;I'm Emily, Retail Supply Chain Consultant and owner of The Retailer Clinic. I help small retailers to optimise their supply chains, focusing on the areas of procurement, production, inventory management, forecasting, cash flow and strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have over 10 years experience in retail having worked in head offices in buying, sales and production roles and on the shop floor in sales advisor and account management positions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Working for small retailers opened my eyes to the challenges small retailers face when it comes to supply chain. Forecasting and inventory management software is eye-wateringly expensive, production planning is more complex due to smaller order quantities, and deciding on a procurement strategy can be difficult without buying power.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I went in search of solutions to these problems and spent the next few years studying supply chain analytics, fundamentals, dynamics and design. Armed with 10 years of experience navigating retail supply chains and a stack of models and knowledge, I am ready to help you optimise your supply chain!&lt;/p&gt;

Retail Supply Chain Consultant

Small Retailers Network

This is a networking and support group for small retailers. The aim of this group is to create a space for small retailers to network, troubleshoot and collaborate. 

I am here to help all members with any retail operations and supply chain questions.

I may be pale and Male but I'm certainly not stale! New ideas and ways of doing things are the way in which I have kept relevant to my clients and their customers since I started 17 years ago.
My Management Consultancy Business has been going since I left Carlsberg as the Sales Development Director. I offer two key services:
1) Mentoring service by the hour for people who need help with Sales Development.
2) Consultancy Services by the Day for larger organisations with Field Based Sales people. For them, I do what no one else is doing, which is to go out on Accompaniment with them. This helps me to see them in action and deliver the help and support to get the right results where it matters most - in front of their customers.
I love helping people see Sales as a positive activity and I tend to try and make it as easy and fun as possible. What helps me to be successful is my genuine interest in people and what makes them tick as well as improving Businesses and how they can generate more sales.
