What we do

Established in 2019 by business leader Annie Spilsbury, an experienced innovator in supply chain management, Grasshopper Ant has introduced a unique approach that blends finance data and market insights with best in class supply chain expertise. Delivering a unique advisory service that rapidly translates budget and spend data into cost out opportunities.

Grasshopper Ant works alongside finance and department heads to pinpoint areas of operational expenditure and indirect spending that can be re-negotiated, right sized or updated, with minimal impact to the organisation’s day-to-day operations.

With a proven track record of engaging and mobilising teams to achieve outstanding supply chain results, Grasshopper Ant takes a heuristic approach to supply chain transformation and value realisation.
