Procurement recruitment specialist GPA Procurement has relaunched.

GPA ended its partnership with the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply earlier this year.

The firm was set up by HR professional Gail Pyrah in 1990, but now lead by a mixed team of recruiters, procurement experts and HR practitioners.

Managing director Pyrah says: “Over the past 21 years, we have seen a large amount of change in the world of procurement. Procurement executives have an even more significant role to play today than ever before and the way a company acquires procurement resources can mean the difference between a very healthy or sick organisation.”
