WHAT WE DO
70% of the costs of a typical business is money that is spent with suppliers.
At Proxima, we believe that a business is at its best when it spends that money wisely and well. We help organizations to unlock the full potential of their suppliers. We do this through a comprehensive suite of procurement and supply chain services that focus on cost, capability and sustainability transformation.

WHY WE DO IT
Making change happen is more important than ever but also harder than ever. Whether it’s geopolitical disruptions, economic pressures, the imperative to drive to net zero, or even just survival, businesses are grappling with major challenges and want to solve them fast.
People and procurement can be strategic enablers, having bold ideas and unlocking the power of supply chains, the ‘external enterprise,’ to help businesses rise to the challenge of meeting their full potential.
