We’re excited to introduce Millie Jones, who has joined Procurement Hub as our new Supplier Relationship Coordinator!
Millie brings strong organisation and a passion for building meaningful partnerships with suppliers across the UK. Her role will be key in supporting the development and management of our supplier relationships, ensuring that those partnerships remain strong, collaborative, and aligned with the needs of our members and wider procurement activity.
With a background that spans both administrative coordination and relationship support roles, Millie brings valuable experience in communication, supplier engagement, and process management.
To help our members and suppliers get to know her a little better, we asked Millie a few questions about her background, interests, and what she’s looking forward to in her new role:
Welcome to Procurement Hub, Millie! What are you most looking forward to in your new role?
I’m really excited to step into a completely new area and start building relationships with our suppliers and internal teams. I love connecting with people, learning new things, and helping create smoother, more collaborative processes. I’m excited to contribute to a team that values innovation and continuous improvement. I can’t wait to get stuck in and make a positive impact!
Can you share a bit about your background and experience?
So, I am new to procurement, but my background is rooted in the automotive and gas industry – both busy, customer focused environments where organisation, and problem solving are essential. Those roles taught me how to build strong relationships, stay adaptable, and keep things running smoothly. I’m excited to bring that experience into a whole new field and continue growing my experience in procurement.
What can suppliers expect from working with you?
Suppliers can expect someone who’s friendly, approachable, and always happy to help. I’m big on clear communication, teamwork, and keeping things organised. My aim is to make sure suppliers feel supported, informed and confident that we’re working towards the same goals.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work? Any hobbies or interests?
Outside of work, I love being out in nature, especially with my dog- we’re always on the lookout for new walks to explore. I also enjoy keeping active, especially “partying” on my stationary bike (spinning is my therapy- especially after a busy day!). When I’m not out and about, I love spending quality time with the people I care about – even better if good food is involved! And if I’m not doing any of the above, it’s because I’m living my best life on holiday ticking off another destination on the bucket list.
And finally, tell us a fun fact or something interesting people might not know about you!
A fun fact about me is that I’m a total sunworshipper and love grounding myself on the beach or in the sea- especially when I’m on holiday, though I’m not quite so keen to get in the sea in the UK. There’s just something about feeling the sun on my skin and the sand beneath my feet that totally resets me and make me feel connected. It’s my favourite way to recharge and soak up the good energy.
We’re thrilled to have Millie join our team and look forward to the positive impact she’ll have on strengthening supplier relationships, enhancing our frameworks, and supporting the continued growth of Procurement Hub.
Welcome to the team, Millie!
