Join our first NextGen Procurement Network session, Progressing in Procurement: From Early Roles to Executive Leadership, designed for early-career professionals and new starters. This session focuses on real career journeys and practical insights beyond formal training.

Keith Rowley, Managing Director, NOE CPC, will share his career journey, key lessons, skills for progression, advice for new starters, and his perspective on the future of procurement.

Ideal for those at the start of their careers or exploring procurement pathways, this session offers practical advice, confidence-building insight, and the chance to connect, featuring a career-focused talk, open Q&A, peer connections, and actionable takeaways.

About the NextGen Procurement Network

The NextGen Procurement Network has been created to bring together procurement professionals who are at the start of their careers, looking to progress into new roles, or simply keen to learn from others in the profession.

The network provides a welcoming space to connect with peers, hear from experienced procurement leaders, share ideas, and gain practical insights that can support your professional development. Through a range of events and discussions, members will have the opportunity to build their knowledge, grow their confidence, and expand their professional networks.

The network is built around three key pillars:

  • Technical Development – strengthening procurement knowledge, commercial understanding, and professional expertise.
  • Career Development – providing guidance, insights, and inspiration to help members navigate their career paths and achieve their professional goals.
  • Soft Skills Development – developing the communication, relationship-building, leadership, and influencing skills that are essential for success in procurement.

Whether you're just beginning your procurement journey or thinking about your next career move, the NextGen Procurement Network is here to support you with the knowledge, skills, and connections needed to thrive in the profession.
