Leading audit, tax and consulting firm RSM UK has appointed Mark Crawford as a director in its business transformation team.
With over 26 years’ experience in operations consulting, Mark joins RSM from EY, where he spent six years growing the firm’s industrial products sector. Prior to that, he spent 20 years at PwC in the consulting team.
Mark is an expert in advising businesses in the manufacturing and industrial products sector, including automotive, aerospace and defence. Previous clients include global automotive and engine manufacturers, a UK subsidiary of an aerospace and defence organisation, and several multinational automotive suppliers.
Mark has deep functional expertise across strategic growth, value creation, cost reduction, and maximising the value of operations. Value chain processes covered include customer, procurement and supply chain.
At RSM, Mark will focus on growing the firm’s manufacturing client base, as well as strengthening its procurement, supply chain and business transformation capabilities across the sector.
Mark Crawford, consulting director at RSM UK, said: “Manufacturing and industrial companies are becoming more nimble, with many undergoing rapid expansion, meaning their value chains are also becoming more agile while maintaining a strong focus on cost. It’s imperative that organisations undertake robust finance and supply planning, while adopting technology to achieve end-to-end transparency and faster decision-making. I’m thrilled to join RSM to provide our clients with a fresh perspective on how procurement, supply chain and customers can all play a central part in building future success.”
Joel Segal, partner and head of business transformation at RSM UK, added: “It’s brilliant to have Mark on board in our business transformation team. His deep industry expertise in manufacturing and industrial products, plus his proven track record around deals and costs, and functional skills across the value chain processes, puts us in a strong position to support our clients in meeting their strategic business needs.”
