Ranjana and Gary have worked very hard to complete their NVQ 4 in just under a year having first successfully completed and achieved their NVQ 3 in Supply Chain Management.

We would also like to thank Jane Hargreaves at NWUPC who has been their NVQ assessor throughout their qualifications and has been extremely supportive to Ranjana and Gary. They have both applied for full membership (MCIPS) to The Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply. Following their qualification success they have now progressed into the posts of Senior Contracts & Procurement Officer. We are sure you will join everyone at CPC in congratulating Ranjana and Gary on their success and wishing them all the best for their future as professionally qualified procurement practitioners.
