About Us

About the company

At Proxima, we help our clients to optimize their external costs, ensuring that each $, €, or £= is productive and enabling business performance. As a knowledge aggregator with a specialist delivery engine, we support either by delivering entire procurement programs or by working with the in house team in a best of breed hybrid. We partner with finance to ensure savings delivered are real, measurable, sustainable, and signed off by finance and the business stakeholders. Today we have 250 procurement specialists operating worldwide helping some of the world’s most recognizable businesses to become better, by delivering or transforming procurement. We influence billions on their behalf annually across a broad range of expenditure categories, commercial disciplines and business programs. Our clients may be novices or experts, but always find that procurement can bring transformational value to top and bottom line. All this makes us one of the largest and most innovative procurement functions anywhere in the world today. As practitioners, we measure ourselves on our results, and the outcomes are truly spectacular. At Proxima, your procurement is our business.

What we do

We provide expert procurement services

At the heart of it we help our clients to spend their money wisely, and well. When you dig down a little, the specialist experience we bring is unlike most other offerings in the market. We don’t just set the strategy or write the report. We make change happen.

We deliver everything from assessments, through to strategy and transformation. That might be looking at how to better manage costs, optimize technology and process, build risk programs or help the business through a significant change like outsourcing or M&A. There’s lots that we do either through one off assignments or ‘as a service’.

 

We’ve worked with some of the world’s largest retailers and the giants of aviation, as well as key government departments, leading banks, and many of the most prominent businesses across manufacturing, food, entertainment, hi tech and much more. We’re even spearheading procurement in some of the new, next generation industry leaders.

 

There are too many to mention really, but one thing is for sure. Even if you are not familiar with the name Proxima, it is highly likely that you will have interacted with a Proxima client at some stage in your life, if not regularly each day, week or month.
