I would once again like to welcome from Buyers Meeting Point to share information of this week's events and news from the world of purchasing, Kelly Barner.

NOTE: In this week’s guest sound bite, we’ll hear a perspective on procurement from Brent Hodgins, Director of Client Services at Mirren – a firm that helps connect marketing agencies with the resources they need to secure new clients.

We are also introducing a new feature on the program which focuses on the stories making headlines, as well as provide our take on the M&A activity from this past year including whether or not they have delivered the expected outcomes.

NOTE: Here are the links to the referenced posts on Procurement Insights titled “What is Procter & Gamble Thinking?!” and “BREAKING NEWS: Is the acquisition cup half full or half empty: A tale of two takeovers!”
