Who We Are

 

e-Three was founded in London in 2002 by James Anthony and Jenny Draper, both veterans of pioneering eSourcing company FreeMarkets. 

The founding principle of e-Three was that real value comes from people, knowledge and processes...and not from technology.  To this day, we use technology as a tool to help us improve the overall effectiveness of our sourcing processes, but it is the way these tools are used that defines the value created.

Our team has an in-depth knowledge of purchasing from both buyer and supplier perspectives, a proven track record of success, and far-reaching experience across a variety of industry sectors including aerospace, finance, construction, automotive and pharmaceuticals.

 

Management Team

e-Three are an eclectic group of people with varied backgrounds. We have built our company around a passion for the work we do, and around a general dedication to the e-Three philosophy.
