Leading ingredient specialists Pecan Deluxe Candy (Europe)’s aggressive expansion strategy and drive for growth continues with a series of new appointments. The most recent, has seen Paul Randell take up the position of purchasing manager.

With over a decade of experience within the food manufacturing industry, Paul Randell is now responsible for purchasing requirements across the entire European business. These include both direct purchases and contracts for anything from a forklift truck and new bakery lines to the flour and eggs that are used in Pecan Deluxe’s internationally acclaimed inclusions.

Fresh from a hands on procurement role dealing directly with growers and renowned brand retailers, Paul Randell is the perfect recruit to ensure that Pecan Deluxe has a continuous supply of materials and ingredients required to fill the company’s growing order books.

With an impressive track record of generating annual savings in excess of £100,000, Paul Randell is confident that he will be able to identify even more profit saving initiatives for Pecan Deluxe, which will ultimately bring price benefits for the company’s customers.

This cross functional role will not only see Paul Randell develop sound internal relationships, enabling him to clearly balance out the financial needs of each department, but will also open up more opportunities to build stronger relationships with suppliers. An area that he feels is critical to the financial performance and profitability of the company.

Paul Randell is keen to highlight that Pecan Deluxe’s purchasing strategy for the next few years looks more closely at economies of scale against financial market trends to ensure that it is able to continue to invest in improved manufacturing processes and reward customers with even better products and services.

Following a hugely successful year, Pecan Deluxe has also recruited new operatives for its manufacturing facility in West Yorkshire and will be announcing some exciting internal promotions over the coming weeks.
