Trigon Snacks slashes utility costs

UK-based Trigon Snacks has slashed its utility bills following advice from Audits Unlimited, a firm of independent utility consultants.
Trigon Snacks is a UK producer of snack products, and owner of the nut brands Planters and Big D. Following a change of management team in 2002, the company invited Audits Unlimited to carry out a review of electricity, gas, water and telecoms expenditure. This highlighted potential savings of more than 30% across all utility expenditure, including a 35% saving on telecoms and 30% on electricity.
Audits Unlimited helped Trigon Snacks renegotiate its electricity contract, saving the company over £25,000 in the first year, and highlighted electricity billing errors which resulted in a refund of £5,500.
John Pendleton, finance director with Trigon Snacks, said: "Over the years, had it not been for Audits Unlimited's consultancy, we could have spent an average of between 10% and 20% extra per annum on utility contracts."
Trigon Snacks is also keen to reduce energy and water consumption and carbon emissions and will soon be installing smart data loggers to help it to achieve this.
