A former design engineer, Thomas Avon spent the early years of his professional career working on projects ranging from plastic factories in Southeast Asia to motion control performances at Olympic opening ceremonies and set control for West End musicals. This unique background has given Avon a strong foundation in “defining and rebuilding processes as well as delivering projects that must work the first time, on time”, he says.

Now as procurement manager at Admiral Insurance, Avon focuses on the modernisation of the firm’s supply chain that interacts with customers. In the last year, Avon aimed to build strategic relationships with suppliers with proclivity for new technology as well as an understanding of Admiral’s progressive philosophy. “I have a firm belief that online methods of interaction and machine learning tools are of benefit to both customer and business,” Avon says.
