Head of Procurement
(NHS)
The Conservation Volunteers recently engaged
Carl Walker at Michael Page International
recruitment in the task of finding an Interim
Procurement Consultant who could help our
organisation carry out a strategic procurement review.
Carl showed great professionalism and attention
to detail throughout. I was very impressed with his
knowledge of the sector and with the calibre of the
candidates that he forwarded on to me. We did also
consult an alternative agency, but I found both the
calibre of the candidates and the service provided by
Carl to be superior.
TCV have recruited a candidate who we are extremely
pleased with, and we would be more than happy to
work with Carl again should the need arise.

What our customers say...
Chesterfield Royal
Hospital initially
advertised for the
post of Procurement
Category Manager via
NHS Jobs, this process
did not prove successful.
Only candidates
from Michael Page
Procurement were
given second interviews.
I have always found
Michael Page to provide
a consultative service as
a result of them knowing
their area of expertise.
