Simon Unger

Simon left school at 16 and immediately went in to business, initially working for others.  At the age of 26 he was youngest main board Director at OKI Systems (UK) Limited and went on to set up & run his own distribution business.  Following a successful exit a friend suggested setting up The Procurement Group as a general overhead procurement consultancy working on gain share wherever possible in order to be as closely aligned as possible with each client.  TPG give clients the best possible information on which to make their own decisions regarding their gross to nett return.  Always on hand to offer advice & play devil's advocate Simon was very contrary during the recent energy price hikes; the strategy paid off for each and every client as prices have dropped and they've been able to benefit.  Simon loves nothing better in business than resolving issues where suppliers have ripped off clients and often wins lost causes.

 

Outside of work Simon has been married for 38 years, is a father to 3 daughters and grandfather, a proud Welshman and avid rugby watcher.  He also runs marathons.
