Atalian Servest has announced the promotion of Jon Stevens to the position of Group Procurement Director following his previous role as Procurement Director for the UK and USA.

In his new role Stevens will lead the global strategic approach to corporate procurement and material management, drawing on his extensive industry experience. With eight years’ experience at Atalian Servest, he already has a great depth of knowledge and understanding about the way the company operates.

Stevens has over 25 years’ experience in negotiating, and 12 years’ experience in the finance industry, including a role at Mercedes before joining Atalian Servest in 2012.

Speaking about his new appointment Stevens said: “I am delighted to take on the role of Group Procurement Director and build on the strong procurement network that Atalian Servest Group has in place. An organisation with such strong presence and growth provides vast opportunities in terms of value and supplier relationships. I am committed to harnessing expertise and innovation for the organisation and its valued client base in this challenging new role.”
