Richard Hopkins Celebrates Continued Success as a Purchasing Specialist

    TELFORD, SHROPSHIRE, ENGLAND, December 16, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Richard Hopkins, Vice President of Global Purchasing for DURA Automotive, has been recognized for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in purchasing.

Mr. Hopkins has 26 years of professional experience, with two years as the vice president of global purchasing for DURA Automotive. Over the years, he has established himself as an expert in people management, as well as communications and supply chain management. On a daily basis, he is responsible for managing all elements of company spending, from the identification of suppliers to end-of-business-life with a key focus on supporting the needs and goals of the business.

Looking back, Mr. Hopkins attributes his success to his personal motivation and optimism. He always sees the glass as half-full. He also attributes his success to his openness and habit of working with intelligent people. Though he greatly enjoys his profession, he admits to have initially become involved in it by accident. When Mr. Hopkins left college, he fell into working for GEC, the British part of GE. From there, he was asked to help in material and purchasing. He took on the challenge and has never looked back.

Mr. Hopkins studied at the University of Salford, having received a higher national diploma in business, finance and supply chain management from the University of Wolverhampton. In addition to his degrees, he has earned a qualification from the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply. In years to come, Mr. Hopkins intends to continue evolving in the field.
