Many of you will agree that, in procurement, September is truly the most wonderful time of the year. As summer draws to a close, the diary is packed with the profession’ s biggest and best events.

On a personal level, I’ m looking forward to connecting with hundreds of our readers around the world over the coming weeks – including at Procurement LIVE, which is being staged in London on 8-9 September.

To keep you busy until then, our first September edition includes The Procurement Interview with Jamal Jamariq, Senior Vice President Global Supply Chain at Estée Lauder Companies. You’ ll also find our conversation with Dane Percy, Vice President of Research & Development for Mars Petcare in Europe, who explains how R & D is reshaping supply chains. We hope you enjoy the mag.
