Ian Britcliffe has been appointed as engagement manager at Ingenica Solutions. 

Britcliffe (pictured) has more than 30 years’ experience in NHS procurement and supply chain roles and was latterly head of supply chain at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (LTH).

Ingenica says he has been appointed to replicate the procurement and supply chain success he achieved at LTH for the benefit of other NHS trusts. The company adds that his strategy in his last role led to improved practices and processes, with substantial efficiency savings, through implementing innovative technologies.

Ingenica Solutions founder and chief operating officer Nicola Hall said: “Ian is uniquely placed to provide new and existing customers with an in-depth analysis of how a full trust roll-out programme can work, empathetically working with clients, sharing best practice and guiding them through potential challenges.

Britcliffe added: “Ingenica Solutions is without question regarded as head and shoulders above any other solution provider in the healthcare supply chain, procurement and inventory management landscape. The team and quality of solution is phenomenal, and the difference this technology can make to NHS trust finances is incredible. For me it feels like the right time to move to the private sector, to bring a key set of skills to the team, and to contribute further, making a real difference to healthcare efficiencies through my experiences in the NHS.”
