We're delighted to share that our colleague Liz Ellory-Hoare has recently become a Diploma Student Member of the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS).

CIPS is a globally recognised professional body for the procurement and supply profession, with qualifications and professional development designed to build expertise across the sector.

For Liz, becoming a Diploma Student Member is an exciting next step in developing her procurement knowledge and working towards a recognised professional qualification.

What does this mean for Red Box?

Procurement is an important part of the work we do, from supporting catering tenders and contract reviews to advising clients on suppliers, specifications and value for money.

By investing in Liz's professional development, we're strengthening the expertise we can bring to our clients. Her CIPS studies will provide valuable insight into recognised procurement practices, ethical sourcing, commercial relationships and effective supplier management.

For our clients, this means even greater confidence that the procurement advice and support they receive from Red Box is informed by professional standards and current industry knowledge.

At Red Box, we believe that investing in our people is an investment in the quality of service we provide. We're incredibly proud of Liz for taking this next step and look forward to supporting her throughout her CIPS journey.

Congratulations, Liz!
