Follow on Google News | Investing in an Auditel FranchiseInvestment bankers Roz Hartley and Geoff Syme joined the Auditel cost management franchise in July 2011.
Business partner Geoff is a Chartered Accountant and prior to arriving in the UK, worked for 6 years in Public Practice in New Zealand and in the USA specialising in audit and forensic accounting. He worked with a wide range of clients from small rural schools to international engineering companies and across many sectors including retail, manufacturing and education. Since moving here, Geoff has spent several years consulting on financial system change projects in investment banks, covering the full spectrum from selection through to implementation. The key to success was to gain a clear understanding of business needs and to ensure that expectations were met. Geoff says: “I now bring my professional expertise, project management and analytical skills to http://www.auditelfranchise.co.uk to ensure quality cost management solutions are delivered to my clients.” Asked why they decided to join Auditel they recall: “It just felt right! We trusted and felt comfortable with the whole ethos of Auditel, the length of time the franchise has been operating and its reputation amongst its clients and franchisees.” Roz and Geoff were really enthusiastic about the training: “We thought it was very good, thorough and relevant. It has taken us a step closer to realising our dream of working for ourselves from rural Somerset yet using the experience from our previous careers to make money! The franchise model is becoming an increasingly attractive option for those looking to run a business for the first time. As Brian Smart, Director General of the British Franchise Association said recently: “Yet again, franchising has demonstrated its inherent tenacity and stability, despite a tough climate last year.” Last month, Auditel welcomed their 200th signing and are now the UK’s largest Cost and Purchase Management Consultancy. Head of Marketing, Laurence Knott confirms: “Applicants recognise the value of our cost and purchase management service in these challenging economic times. Our higher earners enjoy an income of over £200k. Now is the time for any management professional who is seeking a career change to approach us. Our Free Discovery Seminars give an indication of what may be achieved within our franchise which can provide financial, business and personal satisfaction." # # # The Auditel concept was developed on the premise that all organisations pay for essential services. Utilities and telecommunications are two of those costs and when many essential service sectors underwent deregulation in 1991 it opened up these industries to competition. UK companies could shop around for the best prices from new providers entering the market. The ever changing range of services available meant that many organisations did not know where or how to identify savings. The main problem is that few organisations have enough time or resources to track invoices, question charges and ensure quality of service from suppliers. In 1994 Auditel was launched to offer a solution, a cost and purchase management consultancy that could focus independently on the essential services to cut through the confusion that UK businesses were facing. Since this time Auditel has been training professionals into self employment and is now the leading cost and purchase management franchise. End
