The Cambridge Centre for Purchasing Studies, a newly formed partnership between London Metropolitan University (MDU at LMU) and JWJ Consultancy Ltd, is a commercial consultancy, development and training centre based in Cambridge. We work with both public and private sector organisations as well as a growing number of small and medium enterprises.

Our programmes encourage critical reflection on current developments and focus on contemporary issues in supply chain management. These are supported by a number of key organisations in both public and private sectors. Our programmes make use of specialist staff, senior academics and consultants, and our extensive learning resources include multimedia case studies.

Delegates are offered one-to-one guidance supported by bespoke study plans and fees.
