Why Craig International

Having previously been an end user of the services Craig International has to offer, when the opportunity to join an innovative and forward thinking organisation arose, the decision was simple. There is a vast amount of procurement and Oil & Gas experience within the office which further enhances Craig International’s ability to provide a timely, accurate response.

Having joined the CI team some 9 years ago and a 4th Generation Craig in the business, now GM/director responsible for Sub-Saharan Africa – a role and challenge I enjoy immensely. The team has successfully grown the customer base in recent years gaining considerable market share, while diversifying into industries such as mining, solar and ship Chandlery. No two days are the same at Craig International!

I am extremely proud of the talented team we have assembled at our North America division. The significant organic growth experienced over the last 5 years, validates the strong service levels applied by Craig International and our buyers. The noticeable & continuous improvement to our clients procedures, efficiency & cost control, combined with the excellent feedback on a regular basis is extremely rewarding; particularly during difficult economic periods.

Having joined Craig International 20 years ago as a buyer to now General Manager, I love applying my procurement knowledge and experience to ensure that service levels to clients are exceeded and that CI processes are streamlined and efficient. The growth of the company over the past 20 years has seen me visit our international locations and share my knowledge and experience with the wider team in CI. In recent years, I have enjoyed the difficult challenges we have faced ensuring a positive outcome not only for CI but our valued clients. Working with new clients during implementation phase of contract award is something I really enjoy as we grow and develop the company further

Being with the Craig team, for seven years now, I have worked my way up from expediting to senior procurement. At Craig International, I continue to learn and grow, building strong relationships and trust with our growing client base. The Houston office, has a successful team, and we are excited to see what the future holds.

Having recently joined the Management team at Craig International, bringing with me 20+ years’ experience in procurement and logistics, running the Middle East operations, doubling the workforce and developing the business in this region has been rewarding, the Craig International brand has a huge pull that along with the family feel to the organisation bodes well for the future.
