Geoff Dobson, Head of Strategic Finance SCCGeoff Dobson – Head of Strategic Finance, Suffolk County Council

Geoff is currently focused on:

  • Shaping financial and budget strategies to meet the current and medium term challenges Suffolk faces to overcome the big 'cuts' in government grant;
  • Enabling the Council to transform its services and protect front line services.


 

As you may know, Articulate HLC in association with Suffolk FSB, organised a business breakfast on the subject of Public Sector Procurement in Suffolk on Thursday, 19th July 2012. As the topic is both highly emotive and the cause of some confusion, we thought we would give you the opportunity to see the questions that were asked by Suffolk businesses and the responses of the guest speakers.
