Paul Doherty, Procurement Director at Heathrow Airport

Having worked with BizClick previously, I know how successful these events are and how broad the reach is across industry for procurement professionals. I have learnt a lot from attending previously, and hearing colleagues' views on trends and opportunities helps me when thinking about strategy and how fit we are to deliver an excellent service to Heathrow.I hope to learn from others about what they are doing to drive excellent service. Hearing about innovation, digitalisation and service always triggers opportunities for us to be better than today and this forum has supported me in that aim over the last few years I have attended
