Chief Procurement Officer, AllPoints Fibre Networks Ltd

Stuart Farrell is Chief Procurement Officer at AllPoints Fibre Networks and is playing a key role in their company transformation to grow their full-fibre network. Farrell has worked in senior roles around the world for companies like Vodafone, Fujitsu and Hewlett Packard before taking on the crucial role at APFN as it underwent a company transformation. 

His core focus is to create a world-class procurement function within the business, whilst not only looking after procurement, but a wider remit including property, fleet, logistics, build materials, supply chain and warehousing.  

He began his journey in Retail Leadership within the Boots Group, then transitioned to Commercial & Field Management at Vodafone. Later, he served as a Global Account Director at Fujitsu, gaining valuable international experience in consumer channels with Hewlett Packard. This trajectory led him to roles in Wholesale Carrier Operations and Group Procurement at Vodafone/Telefonica before ultimately joining the group of companies that would evolve into AllPoints Fibre Networks.

He is passionate about the value of relationships both within a business, and externally with partners, but has a mantra of always being yourself. 

“If you were to speak to any of our suppliers and partners, past or present, they'd probably say to you, ‘Stuart's not a normal CPO.’ He will enter any engagement asking, 'What do we need to do to ensure a mutually beneficial outcome for both parties’” says Farrell.
