Alastair Blenkin is the Founder & CEO of ProcurePro, who are
fast becoming one to watch in the Australian and global
Construction-Tech landscape.
Starting life in a top tier law firm MinterEllison, Alastair
leapt into the world of Construction-Tech, teaming up with a long
time friend and Project Manager Tim Rogers to found ProcurePro.
ProcurePro is on a mission to make agreement easy - providing
visibility, controls and efficiencies to the highly manual
subcontractor procurement process for contractors such as Roberts
Co, Hutchinson Builders, Kapitol Group and more.
Alastair is passionate about technology, the positive and
transformational change it can have on business, and the people
within the business. Alastair is highly ambitious, relishing in the
challenge of creating something out of nothing against improbable
odds, and motivated to promote Australian Con-Tech on a global
scale.
Outside of work, Alastair has a love of sport and travel,
though the travel has been curtailed since 2020!
