Lowering the costs of doing business for Chamber members

More and more local Chamber business owners are benefiting from using Auditel, a Chamber Service Provider, who offer a free business health check, which includes a free examination of all business costs. Through their Total Cost of Purchase® model, every factor that contributes to the cost of acquiring goods and services is taken into account. Auditel’s performance-driven contingency fee structure means that the service is totally self-funding. There are no up-front fees, no hidden charges and no extras and advice is independent and impartial.
‘When business people think about costs, their first thought is often price’ said Gordon Brearley of Auditel. ‘But you also need to consider the costs of staff involved in purchasing, the effective monitoring of consumption, technology and market developments as well.’

By applying their four-stage model to business overheads – historic audit, identifying savings opportunities, realising the savings and ongoing monitoring and management – Auditel find errors and overcharges, remove redundant costs, achieve best market price and ensure that no excess costs creep back into the system. Core areas of specialisation include Communications, Energy, Business Consumables, Water and Sewerage but over 80 categories are covered.

Auditel have just secured a water refund of £16,000 for a North Lincolnshire Hospice, reduced gas costs for a local cement works by over 40% and saved 36% on line rentals for a firm of accountants by introducing alternative technology.

‘While we seek to emphasise the total benefits of ongoing and effective cost management, our clients initially sign up for the headline savings available’ commented Gordon Brearley. ‘These vary from client to client but are rarely less than 20% across a basket of overheads.’
