Our Teams
Procurement 🌾📦
Our Procurement team sits within our wider Operations department, and they're responsible for purchasing all of our packaging and raw materials for existing and new product ranges.
The Procurement team works cross-functionally with a number of departments at Huel, including NPD, Nutrition, Technical, Finance, and Demand Planning.
Whilst procurement functions are known for driving down costs and agreeing profitable rates, for us, there so much more to it. When we're buying raw material from suppliers, we make sure our partners are ethical, sustainable, efficient, and can provide enough quantities for our increasing demands.
Procurement speak with our suppliers pretty much daily, and the team even get the chance to travel globally two - three times a year to visit them. Check out their latest adventures below!
