Auditel (U.K.) Limited

• United Kingdom
• Business Consulting and Services
• 100 - 200 Employee

• Cost, Procurement & Carbon Solutions Consultant

  • Sep 2021 - Present

  Established in 1994, Auditel is a leading Cost, Procurement & Carbon Solutions Company helping organisations reduce their carbon emissions and costs at the same time, by making effective & informed decisions within a rapidly evolving market. We help our clients improve cash-flow, and ultimately increase profitability by delivering full-scope procurement services. In a nutshell, if a business is spending money on it, we can manage it on their behalf delivering greater value than they could achieve themselves. In the current challenging economic climate, organisations are constantly battling with the desire to drive growth & profitability, whilst ensuring they are investing in the right technologies & receiving value for money from their suppliers. From our experience, we recognise it is not financially feasible for organisations to employ full-time procurement specialists across the full spectrum of goods and services that can be purchased. These challenges culminate in non-purchasing trained employees making significant purchasing decisions without the tools or knowledge of the supplier market. It is not purely about price but putting in sustainable long-term solutions that benefit all parts of the business. The cost savings can be remarkable, 6 & 7 figure annual improvements, to EBITDA are not unusual. We can do this as we have a network of c.100 procurement specialists, who are experts in their own field covering a myriad of cost categories from banking & finance, business supplies, catering, comms & technology, logistics, transport & travel, premises & property, print & postage, utilities & environmental. I build project teams, bringing in these experts on a project-by-project basis for clients giving them the expertise just when needed, eradicating profit leaks. I will under an NDA conduct a free confidential audit of your current expenditure, after which I will prepare a report, using a simple traffic light system highlighting areas for review. Show less
