Specialisation: finding suppliers, price negotiation, factory checking and quality control, plus guiding clients on the ground as a local sourcing guide.
I like learning and finding different things from factories. Sourcing and supply chain management is my daily work, and it is what I am good at.
Most of my work is around Guangzhou and the nearby cities, which is a good place to be for this job. There is a lot within reach.
Away from work I am into exercise and hiking.
Garrick sources to the client's requirements. That means finding suppliers, negotiating the price, checking the factory, and running quality control before goods ship. He also guides clients on sourcing tours, which is where being based locally counts for the most.
He has worked as a sourcing specialist for six years, first with a solar products trading company in Guangzhou and then with a car parking systems manufacturer in Shenzhen. Having been on both the trading side and the factory side is useful when working out what a supplier can realistically deliver.
