In recognition of thought leadership and contribution to the field of procurement and supply chain management I have been invited by the UEA Business School to join them as a visiting scholar. This is with the aim of collaborating with the Business School to provide input into academic courses such as the Executive MBA programme and areas pertinent to my knowledge in P&SCM, ESG and Digital along with other areas of specialism in Behavioural Science (Theory and Applied). Further, to provide guest lectures and other higher education course lectures to support the Business School. Finally, explore areas of collaboration and opportunity to develop and deliver knowledge based content for new areas of knowledge in P&SCM & Behavioural Science. Contributing to the community's intellectual and research endeavours and international projection. While continuing to pursue my own research in the field of Behavioural science as applied to P&SCM.

Our Purpose We are Procurement. ​Sustainability in supply chains is our responsibility. We will build a sustainable future for people and our planet. Our Vision All supply chains across the world ​have embedded sustainable procurement practices by 2030.

The International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management has launched a new section dedicated to research articles that detail emerging problems, challenges, lessons learnt and the future potential of major innovations and transformations in the logistics and supply chain management field. This section encourages co-creating articles with practitioners who drive innovations and transformative opportunities for the future supply chains. The section encourages research that addresses supply chain issues related to global challenges such as sustainable development, inequality, hunger and industrial strategy. The section welcomes articles that explore emerging problems and innovations that can potentially address the problems and lead to transformational changes in the ways physical distribution and logistics are managed. It serves as a platform to facilitate future meaningful research that can eventually benefit the field, society, economy, or help achieve UN sustainable development goals or the world to address global challenges. Studies of supply chains recently recognized as innovative are welcome. One could consider for example Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) Supply Chain Hall of Famers, awards given by other professional bodies e.g., Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) and Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS) Excellence Award winners, European Operations Management Association (EurOMA) Fellows, International Purchasing and Supply, Education and Research Association (IPSERA) lifetime achievement award winners and CSCMP Innovation award winners.
