Keith McCabe

Hi – I’m Keith

I’m an MCIPS qualified, SC cleared Interim Procurement Consultant and owner of AVAM Solutions Ltd.  I’ve got over 25 years of successful procurement delivery experience – I guess you could say I enjoy this game!

I am a proud husband and father to 2 sons. I devote a lot of my time to my family outside of work and try to maintain a key involvement in their sporting activities.

I co-founded the Proctopus network in 2020 to support the mental health, employability and skills growth of procurement professionals.

I produce a weekly procurement cartoon on LinkedIn (Procurement Bert) which is currently fundraising to support the homeless charity, Shelter.

The motto of the McCabe surname is Aut Vincere, Aut Mori – which means either to conquer or to die.

I liked that as it seemed to capture my determination to succeed. So, I used the initials to get to the name AVAM, in case you were wondering!
