2015 is set to be significant year for AJ Purchasing as the Lincoln-based procurement specialist celebrates its 25^th anniversary and the expansion of the firm.

The team recently welcomed Alan Briggs as Business Development Manager who brings with him over 40 years of experience in the food industry and a passion for helping clients to save money.

Alan explained one of the best parts of the job is helping clients to see the benefits of using a dedicated purchasing partner. “Since I joined the team at AJ Purchasing I’ve supported care homes from across the East Midlands and the UK to save money on all their food and cleaning bills,” he said.

“A lot of people I speak to in the first instance haven’t considered working with a purchasing partner or struggle to see the benefits. I’ve personally helped one organisation save a staggering 20% on their annual food expenditure and often achieve an 8% to 10% saving for many customers.”

Steve Gibson, Director of AJ Purchasing, also commented: “We’re delighted to welcome Alan to the firm. I’m confident his experience and knowledge across the catering industry will prove a great asset to our growing team.

“With over 50 years’ combined expertise in the food purchasing industry we can continue to offer excellent rates for our customers who want the best value for money, without compromising on quality.

“Reaching 25 years in business is a testament to our loyal and supportive customers, many of whom have been with us since the firm was established.”
