EXPERIENCE / THE PERSON BEHIND MAKO
Procurement from inside the business.
Mako is led by Robert Brown, a former COO who knows a supplier decision only matters when it works in the operation.
ROBERT BROWN / FOUNDER
Seven years at Beer52. A practical view of value.
Robert spent around seven years at Beer52, including as Chief Operating Officer. He worked across operations, fulfilment, procurement and supplier management, with annual savings of up to £750,000 delivered through procurement and supplier negotiations.
That experience shapes how Mako works with UK consumer businesses. A supplier comparison needs to account for stock, service, cash, quality and the effort of switching, as well as price.
Mako focuses on print and packaging because the detail in those categories often decides whether an apparent saving survives implementation.
The Beer52 result describes Robert’s past work. It is not a forecast or guarantee for Mako clients.
