We're so pleased to speak with procurement expert Peter Smith. He is the author of the fabulous "Bad Buying: How organisations waste billions through failures, frauds and f*ck-ups" and "Procurement with Purpose" among other titles. 

With a long career in the procurement industry working across both public and private sector - Peter shines a light on how ineptitude, mismanagement and fraud are costing companies billions. In his newest book he talks about how that mismanagement is also impacting the environment.

Peter and Tony discuss why being a procurement manager is a great job, the difference between procurement in the public and private sectors, and Peter shares some tips of how to improve procurement efficiency... 

It's a must listen for anyone running a business or involved in buying!
