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!

I’ve been incredibly lucky to have built and sold 2 businesses.
From the outside, it seems like it’s been quite straightforward.

– Set up shop.
– Work hard.
– Sell the business.
– Happy days.

But like most things in life, the truth is A LOT messier.
No one really talks about the bits in between, though.

The false starts.

The sleepless nights.

The gut-punches you don’t see coming.

Like the time I lost what was effectively my pension in one paragraph of an email. Or the countless moments where I thought, “Is this the point where it all falls apart?”

But in those moments, you don’t need to have all the answers.
You just need to believe there’s a way through.

When the wheels come off (and at some point, they will) that’s your real test.

Not when it’s all going well.

Not when you’re celebrating the wins.

But when you’re staring down a setback thinking, “What now?”

That’s when you find out what you’re really made of.
So if you’re in the thick of it right now, just remember:
You’re allowed to stumble. You’re allowed to feel stuck.
You’re even allowed to think that you haven’t got it in you just yet.

But whatever you do, don’t count yourself out.

Back yourself through everything.

Because even when everything else is uncertain…
That belief is the only thing that pulls you through.

“You’ll usually find the answer you’re looking for when you’re shaving in the morning.”

Someone once told me this, and I didn’t know what it meant at the time.
But a few years later, I realised it meant to stop overcomplicating things you probably already know how to do.

Stop outsourcing your decisions to social media posts, a dozen mates, or some bloke on YouTube.

Because deep down… you usually know what to do.
You’re just afraid to call it.

Over the years, I’ve made some good decisions, and a few shockers.
But the ones I’ve always felt worst about were the ones where I knew what was right, but didn’t back myself.

See, it’s quite funny how it works out:
👉 When your gut is right and you ignore it, you’ll torture yourself after.
👉 When your gut is wrong and you acted anyway, at least you made a decision.

Because the cost of indecision is far greater than the cost of a wrong move.
So if you’re sat on a decision today, don’t wait for someone else to figure it out for you.
Look in the mirror, and ask yourself the question.
Then fully support the person staring back at you.
They’ve probably known the answer all along.
