About Origin Sourcing
Expert packaging purchasing consultancy helping UK businesses optimise costs and transform their supply chains.
Our Mission
For years, I worked as COO at one of the UK's leading packaging merchants serving the food-to-go industry. I had a front-row seat to how the merchant model works—and more importantly, where it breaks down.
I watched successful restaurant groups scale from 5 to 10 to 20+ locations, celebrating each opening while unknowingly paying an increasing "scale tax" on every piece of packaging they purchased. The more they grew, the more margin they handed over to their supplier.
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we do.
Results-Driven
We measure our success by your savings. Every engagement is focused on delivering tangible, measurable results.
Partnership Approach
We work alongside your team, transferring knowledge and building capabilities that last beyond our engagement.
Industry Expertise
10 years of packaging purchasing experience across multiple industries gives us unmatched insight.
Our Three-Phase Approach
We structure engagements with clear decision gates at each stage. You're in control, validating opportunity and approach before committing further.
Opportunity Assessment
Desktop analysis of your current packaging spend to validate savings potential and feasibility. You receive a detailed report with conservative savings estimates and a clear Go/No-Go recommendation.
Business Case Development
Comprehensive supplier engagement, 3PL negotiations, and detailed implementation planning. You receive actual supplier quotes, firm 3PL rates, and a complete business case presented to your leadership team.
Implementation
Full execution: supplier contracts, 3PL onboarding, quality verification, delivery coordination, and team training. We manage the entire process while your team maintains final approval authority.
Performance Fee
Our fee structure is performance-based, meaning the majority of our compensation is tied directly to verified savings you achieve. We only succeed when you succeed.
