 Parkdean Resorts, the UK's largest holiday park operator, presents unique procurement challenges. It runs 65 parks, which operate more like small towns spanning the entirety of the UK, from the north of Scotland to near Land's End in Cornwall.

Head of Procurement, Amey Fairbrother, heads up the company’s sophisticated supply chain management whilst ensuring the team caters to diverse geographical and seasonal demands.

Under Amey's leadership, the procurement function has undergone significant transformation, moving from complexity to simplification whilst simultaneously navigating an ambitious digital transformation programme.
