DIRECTORS

Nirmal Kalsey and Diana Spellman, the two founding directors of Partners in Purchasing, have gained over 20 years combined purchasing experience in a variety of catering institutions, both as operators and as purchasing specialists. 

Both directors gained most of their experience in hospitality roles within the City and West End with leading contract companies. 

Post graduate education and senior management roles led them to realize they could provide a high quality bespoke service with no compromises to organizations whose priority was efficiency and transparency.

Nirmal has now moved into full time education and Diana has taken over the role of sole Managing Director supported by a team of highly experienced operational and professional purchasing Managers.

 

The business is supported by qualified trained personnel in purchasing and accounting practices.
