Four new senior appointments<\/a> will lead the next phase of growth and leadership at LHC Procurement Group (LHCPG)<\/h2>\n

Nicola Stewart takes up the reins as regional director for the South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA), while Elizabeth Jones shapes the next phase of growth as regional director for the Welsh Procurement Alliance (WPA) \u2013 two of LHCPG\u2019s five regional business units.<\/p>\n

Based at LHCPG\u2019s head office in Uxbridge, Jon Durant and Giorgio Burani are settling into their roles as the group\u2019s new director of IT and transformation and director of finance, respectively.<\/p>\n

Nicola Stewart: Strengthening performance and expanding reach<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nicola Stewart brings more than 25 years of experience across engineering, construction and major infrastructure. In a previous role, she launched a cross-industry decarbonisation SaaS platform, giving her a strong track record in sustainability.<\/p>\n

At SWPA, Nicola aims to strengthen team performance and expand regional reach into sectors such as education, defence and the NHS.<\/p>\n

While deepening collaboration with sister regions, including Wales and Scotland, Nicola will also ensure consistent support for SMEs and larger contractors alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m keen to build on LHC Procurement Group\u2019s strong foundations in the South West,\u201d said Nicola.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough SWPA, we will grow into new sectors and champion a fair, consistent journey for suppliers of every size. By listening to clients, partnering with industry and simplifying the route to market, we can accelerate delivery and support local growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Jones: Delivering built environment projects for social value<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Jones \u2013 who has 25 years\u2019 experience in the public sector and housing \u2013 joins WPA at a time when Welsh public procurement is being reshaped by reform and strengthened social value duties.<\/p>\n

Over the past four years, Elizabeth has advised the Welsh Government and supply chain partners as a consultant on decarbonising asset management, developing a detailed understanding of market challenges.<\/p>\n

In her new role, Elizabeth will link customers, including local authorities and charities, with suppliers to deliver built environment projects with a focus on value for money and social value<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her priorities include improving access to WPA frameworks in north, mid and west Wales and creating opportunities for family-run SMEs through collaboration with principal contractors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to help public bodies buy well, create clear routes for Welsh SMEs onto WPA frameworks and build social value into everyday delivery,\u201d said Liz.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a team, we will continue to listen to local priorities, support energy efficiency for the people of Wales, and partner with principal contractors to mentor smaller firms. This will ensure more organisations can deliver projects on time and within budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jon Durant: Driving LHCPG\u2019s long-term tech direction<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jon Durant has joined LHCPG to lead IT operations, digital strategy and business transformation.<\/p>\n

He brings 25 years of experience in enterprise architecture and change, including senior roles at UCAS and Oxford University Press.<\/p>\n

He will oversee day-to-day IT, set the Group\u2019s longer-term technology direction and drive process and culture improvements that free colleagues from low-value admin so they can focus on service delivery and social value.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat attracted me to LHCPG was its public purpose and the opportunity to help the organisation scale its impact,\u201d Jon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIT should solve real problems for real people, and my focus is on practical transformation that does this while making colleagues\u2019 lives easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giorgio Burani: Strengthening financial processes and systems<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An ACCA-qualified finance leader, Giorgio Burani, joins LHCPG as director of finance. He began his career on Dyson\u2019s finance graduate scheme before moving into finance systems development.<\/p>\n

He later held commercial finance roles at International Airlines Group and Reliance Worldwide Corporation, where he led the order-to-cash workstream for a multi-country SAP rollout, and, most recently, was the business controller at International SOS.<\/p>\n

At LHCPG, he will focus on strengthening financial processes and systems to support the organisation\u2019s transformation and reinvest even more of the surplus into communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cLHCPG is on a transformation journey, and this role lets me put my end-to-end finance experience to work,\u201d said Giorgio.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy strengthening purchasing and finance processes, and building on an already strong team, we can run smarter and reinvest more back into the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

LHCPG provides free-to-use procurement frameworks exclusively for public sector clients.<\/p>\n
