New presence in São Paulo

Annabel Buchan, who joined Carnstone in 2011, has recently moved to São Paulo, Brazil. While we’re sad to lose her in the London office, Annabel will continue to work with us, advising existing clients and developing new relationships in South America.

Annabel’s main expertise is in ethical buying and sustainable supply chains, and she has progressed quickly from Junior Partner to Partner status. Annabel has also been instrumental in setting up and running several of our multi-client projects, including the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI)

Annabel's presence in São Paulo means that Carnstone now serves clients from three continents, namely China, Brazil and the UK. We may be distributed geographically, but our focus is as clear as ever: offering the best sustainability advice and services money can buy. Até logo!
