acQuire was established in 2012 by Ken Long and is based in Dublin Ireland.  Ken holds an Honours Bachelor of Business in Procurement and Supply Management.

Prior to establishing acQuire Ken had held various senior Supply Chain Management (SCM) positions within leading Information, Communications and Telecommunications (ICT) organisations over a 25-year period. In every position the performance of the supply chain was a significant contributor to the success and competitiveness of these organisations.

This became the basis for establishing acQuire – to offer Sourcing, Outsourcing and SCM activities to assist other organisations create a competitive advantage through maximising the benefits possible from well managed end-to-end supply chains.

Always being conscious of the financial impacts a poor supply chain can have on a business was a key driver in Ken’s motivation to excel at providing the Best in Class solution in every situation. Constantly asking the “What if ?” question has driven Ken to identify innovative solutions by continuously “Thinking Outside the Box”. Having a solution does not automatically mean you have the best solution. Benchmarking your supply chain against other solutions allows you to adjust yours to give the correct balance between efficiency and effectiveness.

Interruptions in an organisations supply chain can incur significant costs both upstream and downstream and directly affect the bottom line on any balance sheet as well as organisations credibility within their market space.

With this in mind acQuire has established itself to offer a range of services offering innovative solutions based on our knowledge experience and our extensive Contact Network in assisting your organisation to focus on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your supply chains.

We would welcome any opportunity to discuss any projects, just contact us to see how we can assist you.
