A Highlight on our Sister Organisation, SR Strategic Sourcing

Transforming Procurement and Driving Results

Our sister company SR Strategic Sourcing Ltd (SRSS) was founded in 2014 to compliment the SR Supply Chain Consultants Ltd (SRSCC) vocational qualification in procurement qualification and apprenticeship programmes.  Our Managing Director Susan Rashid, keen to close all gaps and not miss an opportunity to improve procurement established a fantastic partnership with Gary Tinsley.

SR Strategic Sourcing Ltd focusses on identifying training needs, designing bespoke courses to align with procurement and organisational goals and developing the procurement skills and competencies of individuals from buyer to senior procurement.

SRSS has collaborated with many organisations; public, private and third sector supporting their procurement training requirements, offering in-house courses, 1 day courses and webinars to organisations nationally and internationally.

SR Strategic Sourcing can include Blue Chip Organisations, Civil Service, Local Authorities, Third Sector and Not for Profit organisations and Global Conglomerates as their Customers, helping them to transform Procurement and drive results.

Gary and Susan, being practitioners, both FCIPS and qualified teachers have extensive practical experience across a broad spectrum of industries at senior levels.   This dynamic pair are exceptional at supporting businesses to transform procurement and drive results by training their teams to increase knowledge, awareness, and competencies.

In addition, to add value further both Gary and Susan can offer psychometric assessment Total SDI either as a programme on its own or embedded into other training courses such as stakeholder management, leadership and negotiation.  Alone or embedded into programmes, leaders can map their teams to understand their individual Motivational Value Systems (MVS), behavioural patterns and reactions to the varying degrees within conflict situations.  Embedded into a negotiation course is very exciting as the delegates plot and plan their negotiation strategy considering their opponents MVS!

During non-Covid times SRSS offer 5-day Global Seminars held in Central London with delegates coming from all corners of the globe to explore effective and innovative Procurement and Supply Chain models and experiences.

To find out more about our one-day courses for both Commercial and Public Sector delegates, held online and in various locations across the UK covering Introductions to Procurement, Category Management, Negotiation, Social Value, Modern Day Slavery, Contract Management and Law, and Managing and Mitigating Risk, plus many more view them all at SRS Strategic Sourcing.

Bethanie Stimpson

Progress Mentor

Bethanie began her career in the fitness industry, working as a personal trainer and gym instructor before becoming involved in coaching children through a triathlon club. This experience sparked her passion for working with young people and ultimately led her into a career in education. She initially worked in a nursery and later as a one-to-one teaching assistant in a primary school, before completing her teaching qualification and postgraduate studies. Since then, Bethanie has taught in both the private and state education sectors.

Her academic background includes a qualification in Sports Development, Fitness and Coaching at college, alongside a Childhood & Youth undergraduate degree (2:1). These studies have enabled her to combine her interests in sport, education, and child development, shaping her holistic approach to teaching and mentoring.

Bethanie is passionate about supporting learners to achieve their goals — educationally, personally, and in terms of wellbeing. She places strong emphasis on communication and relationship building, and takes great pride in helping individuals build confidence and overcome challenges. One of her proudest achievements has been supporting learners who initially doubted themselves to grow in confidence and achieve success.

Outside of work, Bethanie has always maintained a strong interest in sport. She previously competed in triathlons and now focuses on running and swimming. In 2023, she completed the London Marathon — an achievement she is particularly proud of. She also enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and their two dogs, which is where she is happiest when not working.
