Operating Assets
For hotels, universities, and healthcare assets that are already open and operating, we optimise your procurement processes to enhance profitability and financial performance
Services
We believe that every organisation and engagement is unique. As a result Argillan works with clients to design a programme of work tailored to their strategic priorities, operational challenges and institutional context.
Proposals are typically structured around three core capability areas:
Pre-Opening Assets
Before your asset opens to welcome its first guest or customer, we help you deliver the pre-opening procurement journey.
From concept to opening day, we help you manage specifications and budgets, make informed supplier selection decisions and maintain delivery schedules.
Managed Services
Our managed services offer a seamless extension of your hotel or asset management team, overseeing procurement on an ongoing basis.
The Argillan Philosophy
Argillan’s philosophy is what distinguishes us from traditional consulting and procurement advisory firms. Our work is built around four core principles that shape how we engage with clients and deliver results.
-
Argillan deliberately focuses on a defined group of sectors where we can bring the greatest insight and impact.
This focus allows us to develop and maintain industry-specific benchmarking tools, diagnostics and supplier intelligence. Unlike generalist procurement advisors, we remain closely connected to the operational realities and supply chains of the sectors we support.
This depth of industry knowledge enables us to deliver advice that is both analytically rigorous and grounded in practical experience.
-
Every organisation is unique, and we believe no solution should come from a standard playbook. Too often, external advisors rely on pre-built tools, templates and delivery methodologies that prioritise repeat application over tailored solutions.
At Argillan, we begin by developing a deep understanding of your organisation — what it is trying to achieve, how it operates, and the needs of its customers, stakeholders and suppliers.
Only once we understand this context do we apply our tools, frameworks and recommendations.
-
We consider a project successful when our clients no longer need us.
When we work with an organisation, we do not simply deliver recommendations and move on. Instead, we work closely alongside your team or nominated leads to implement the agreed approach while actively transferring knowledge and capability.
As the project progresses, your team develops the skills, tools and confidence needed to sustain and build upon the improvements long after our engagement concludes.
-
Once we understand your organisation and operating environment, we work with you to develop a range of practical delivery options drawn from our capabilities and analytical tools.
Crucially, we are transparent about the potenitial trade-offs involved in each approach. Procurement decisions inevitably involve balancing cost, service quality, operational resilience and supplier relationships.
Our role is to ensure that the solution ultimately chosen represents the best possible balance for your organisation, your customers and your stakeholders.
