The Brusco Procurement team serves as the backbone of success within Brusco, coordinating the purchasing and negotiation of all of our ingredients.
Our team of category managers adhere to a procurement strategy that provides a multifaceted approach to ensure the availability, quality and cost-effectiveness of ingredients needed for food production.
They are constantly sourcing like-minded suppliers, negotiating contracts, managing key relationships and optimising the supply chain efficiency.
Building Key Supplier Relationships in the Food Industry
Something that Brusco prides itself on is our supplier relationships. We build and maintain consistent communication by working closely with farms and producers around the world, helping us understand the supply chain from start to finish. We work closely with our network to secure the necessary inputs for their operations.
Maintaining Quality Ingredients
Ensuring quality and food safety is paramount to our business and the food industry. Our customers rely on us to make sure they receive the best ingredients for their production.
Our team is responsible for vetting suppliers and conducting audits to establish high standards that meet regulatory requirements and consumer expectations.
Food Supply Chain Resilience
Our Procurement team plays a vital role in building a resilient supply chain that can withstand disruptions such as natural disasters, market fluctuations, and geopolitical events. Diversifying suppliers, maintaining safety stock, and implementing risk mitigation strategies are essential for ensuring continuity of supply for our customers.
Food Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing
With growing consumer awareness and concern for sustainability and ethical practices, procurement within the food industry is increasingly focused on sourcing environmentally responsible and socially ethical ingredients. Our procurement team prioritise suppliers who adhere to sustainable farming practices, fair labour standards and ethical sourcing.
As a Group, we celebrate all changes, big and small, that our suppliers make to continue enhancing their ethical and sustainability practices.
Thought Leaders in the Food Industry
As a Group we wholeheartedly believe there is no point in having the knowledge and experience that we have unless we share this with our customers. Not only in the form of quality ingredients and a powerful supply chain but also with regards to offering industry market reports.
The information we gather from our network is passed on to our customers in the form of market reports and our crop calendar, so they are fully informed every step of the way. We want our customers to understand the challenges in the market so they can make informed decisions about their buying practices throughout the year.
