Responsable d'agence / acheteur, PO SCANDEX HONG KONG
Good day,
I work in Shenzhen for 4 years and half now as manager of a buying office located in south of China near Hong Kong. Subsidiary of a French company, i am deeply involved in the office set up from the beginning (2006)
Following local rules, our team handled the company registration in Shenzhen.
As originally a French logistics company, we set up our 1st business as air/sea freight agent. We developed this activity with door to door shipments in order to provide maximum services to our customers.
The second step was to buy commodities directly from local suppliers and to export goods. Our location in china gives us the asset to control the sourcing, quality and leadtime in the buying process.
Our business is growing permanently now trough several kind of purchased products and regular containers traffic to ship.
My daily job is to be responsible of the relationship with both supplier and customer: directly in touch with customers and according to his requests, i lead the supplier sourcing process. Then when the order is opened, i work with our local staff in order to follow the order and to guarantee the quality and the deadline.
This is a permanent challenge because it doesn't only appeal to your technical skills but also to the capacity to understand local people with their culture. The more we master the environment the more we can deal with issues.
In addition of my previous experiences in manufacturing logistics and international transportation, i've got from this experience a clear vision of the whole chain of value : from manufacturing to final dispatching.
Therefore i plan to go back to France by the end of the year to lead my career to new experieces linked with purchasing and/or supply chain management.
