Business
10 years ago, one pitch changed everything.
It all started with one pitch.
Naomi Clews found herself in the luxurious London showroom of a multi-billion dollar company.
She gripped her company flyer tightly — freshly printed just five minutes earlier — as she nervously waited to meet her potential new client.
Naomi was no stranger to pitching. But this pitch was different.
For the first time, she wasn't pitching someone else's business.
She was pitching her own.
This was the moment Naomi had been working towards. The moment when an idea, a risk and a leap of faith would become something real.
A moment that changed everything.
When Naomi heard those words, she knew her life had changed forever.
The risks and sacrifices she'd made suddenly felt worth it. She had taken the leap to establish her own female-led procurement consultancy — determined to build a business on her own terms and without compromising the values that mattered to her.
From one client to a 10 year track record.
Today, Naomi Clews Consultancy has a 10 year proven track record of helping her clients get procurement right.
But the journey from that first client to today has never been straightforward.
Taking the leap
Starting a business meant taking risks, making sacrifices and believing that there was a different way to work.

Those experiences have shaped the way Naomi works with clients today — bringing practical experience of both procurement and running a business.
Understanding both sides.
Naomi's own experience and struggles help her relate to her clients on a much deeper level.
She knows what it feels like to be the person trying to achieve difficult things.
She understands the uncertainty, the frustration, the decisions about where to invest limited time and resources — and the challengesfaced.
10 years in. And still passionate.
Still passionate about procurement transformation.
