I interrupt my current series for none other than...

A Follow, Thought & A Tune, my new Friday staple.

📌Follow📌
Mark B. Logan, MPA, NIGP-CPP, CPPO, C.P.M., CPPB, A.P.P.

Mark has a wealth of procurement knowledge, which shines through in his content.

He’s engaging, insightful, and often one of the first to share thoughtful, constructively critical comments.

Definitely worth following on here.

📌Thought📌
Everyone bangs on about cost savings.
Cool. Shave a few quid here and there. Clap yourself on the back.

But sometimes, its the intangible that drives the most value.

Spotting risk before it burns the business.
Backing the supplier who’ll still be standing in five years.
Building a partnership that makes you both stronger.

Procurement isn’t bargain hunting in a pound shop.
It’s future-proofing the business with every decision.

📌Are you chasing pennies, or are you shaping tomorrow?

📌Tune📌

Song: Breaking The Law
Album: British Steel
Band: Judas Priest

Fact:
Judas Priest’s British Steel (1980) was one of the first heavy metal albums recorded in a residential home rather than a studio.

The band rented Ringo Starr’s house in Tittenhurst Park (yep, the former Beatle’s gaff) and turned it into their recording HQ.

They even used everyday objects, like pool cues and trays of cutlery, to create some of the album’s clanging, metallic sounds.

That’s metal in the most literal sense.
