Founder/Director of Zero Procure - making procurement simple at ZERO cost!

I co-founded Zero Procure back in 2020 because I knew procurement could be done differently.

I’d already been working in the hospitality industry for…well my whole life. But I’d previously run a cleaning business for 11 years before I sold it in 2017.

And there’s something I noticed about procurement:

- You either did it yourself…taking time away from your core job
- You could hire someone to do it…but they only have so much buying power
- You could hire a procurement company…that will charge you a percentage of your savings
- Or you could go with option 4…paying just the supplier for your goods, but also getting the best prices

Here’s our cue to come in.

Zero Procure works the exact same as any other procurement company…but you, the customer, don’t pay a thing!

Honestly, it’s as simple as that (we get our cuts from the supplier, not you).

Sound intriguing?

Feel free to send me a message and let’s have a chat about how we can help your business!

On a mission to make procurement Free & Simple for Hospitality Brands

Happy New Year to all my connections! 🎉

Wishing everyone a successful and prosperous 2026.

That said, this article, published on just the second official working day of the year was not an encouraging read for the pub industry and hospitality as a whole. It’s concerning when the government openly admits that “pubs will struggle with business rates.”

If you’re looking to take control in a challenging landscape, there are ways to protect margins and improve buying power:

✔️ Streamline visibility across your category spend
✔️ Secure better rates with existing and new suppliers
✔️ Access rebates and brand partnerships through our network
✔️ Pay zero for all of the above

If this sounds relevant, feel free to book some time with me:

10 years in the bridal industry, dealing with dreamy rails of girly sparkle somehow transitioned in to an operational role within the transport industry, propelling me into a whole host of testosterone! Proudly a forerunner in the vehicle hire market, growing a fleet from 44 vehicles to 500 through the acquisition of electric vehicles and wheelchair accessible transportation. I throughly enjoy the changing make up of the automotive industry and even more so, I am thrilled to be actively revolutionising the way in which fleets manage their vehicle accidents through ONO.

Founder & CEO

Oh No!! My driver has had a car accident! 

Don’t worry, ONO helps drivers report calmly and concisely, sending this data straight to a fleet owner (the asset owner), broker or insurance provider. 

The ONO dashboard allows fleet owners to manage their incident data quickly and effectively, utilising their own supply chain, helping minimise spiralling insurance, repair and settlement costs that can be associated with mismanaged claim handling.
