Simon Jones

Having graduated in 2008, Simon forged a successful career within procurement and supply chain recruitment, developing himself into the leading consultant for procurement in the Yorkshire region. Keen to advance, he progressed his skills to advise businesses he works with on procurement and supply chain structure, issues, and frequently promotes the value of procurement within the business arena. As a keen advocate on the value of procurement to business, Simon re-established the Humber Branch of the Chartered Institute for Procurement and Supply (CIPS), where he currently sits as Chairman. He has since re-established procurement training opportunities in the Humber region and runs regular events to further support the local procurement community.

Keen on continuing his path of delivering added value, Simon, alongside Daniel Gray, set up Total Supply Chain Solutions in 2014 with a focus on delivering a specialist, comprehensive recruitment service. The business evolved and became Identify in February 2017, broadening the services on offer with an ethos of engaging with Innovation in Recruitment™. The aim is to offer a first class recruitment service whilst delivering greater value to our clients by offering a holistic skills solution, including training, bespoke apprenticeships and specialist consultancy through their partnership model.

Simon is a proud East Yorkshireman, a passionate supporter of Hull City Football Club, enthusiastic about supporting local business and driven to help business improve themselves and the skills in their organisation.
