Effective and valuable utility management
In addition to identifying savings, we have continued to provide The Morris Furniture Group, as we do all our clients, with a comprehensive management service for utilities. This includes monitoring costs, consumption patterns, call profiles, tariffs and discount plans. Regular reports are provided on unusual costs, billing errors, energy profiles and telephone call analysis.
Through this comprehensive management of gas, electricity, water, fixed telecom and mobile telecoms services we have made a number of substantial savings. Just checking bills thoroughly has saved the client almost £14,000 from billing overcharges. Our services throughout the last year have saved the client over £54,000, representing 14% of their annual spend. Some years the savings have been about double that figure.
“We have used Business Cost Consultants for the past 6 years, starting off with our utilities such as water, electricity and gas and have now extended that service to cover mobile phones and fixed line telecoms. The largest one-off saving which stood out when we moved to a new factory was for the installation of a new gas supply. We had been quoted £56,000 from a particular supplier with a 12-week installation date. Business Cost Consultants renegotiated this with the same supplier to a cost of £36,000 and, crucially, a 6-week installation date.” — Robert Morris (Managing Director)
