The ethos of listening and responding to clients’ needs led the team to realise that many clients were failing to take full advantage of opportunities that existed to properly manage their essential overheads, such as communications, energy and water.
Jonathan Horrocks, Senior Manager of CVDFK, says, “Providing an innovative service to manage our clients’ essential services would not only complement our existing portfolio of traditional business management services, but would also
meet other important criteria of our guiding philosophy: creative thinking, innovation and helping clients achieve greater profitability, efficiency and
success.
We found Auditel to be the perfect alliance partner to deliver this kind of cost-management service. Auditel consultants can be outsourced to deliver not only the high standard of advice expected by our clients, but also a flexible structure that allows expertise to be accessed as and when required, without incurring any ongoing costs. As well as this, Auditel identifies with and works within the CVDFK ethos and philosophy.” Jonathan continues, “The service was just what we were looking for, meeting all the criteria we set:
- Expertise and specialist knowledge base
- A large network of consultants allowing the flexibility to deal with any volume of assignments
- Complete independence ensuring unbiased advice and recommendations based on clients’ best interests
- A no-win, no-fee approach that is attractive to clients because they have peace of mind that the service they receive will not cost them anything unless savings are actually realised
- Shared ethos of building long-term client relationships and providing bespoke solutions to meet specific needs.
