The Challenge
In this current financial climate every company needs to look at reducing costs. Like the vast majority of companies, Bridge McFarland Solicitors had never looked at their energy outgoings as a whole. CBS were given the task to reduce the energy outgoings across the company and to provide important information regarding company energy accounts which will enable them to track future tariffs, contract end dates and suppliers.
The Solution
Once Bridge McFarland had provided recent energy bills for all of their separate energy accounts across its 8 sites CBS set about establishing all of the important information for each account to ensure that the cost reductions were maximised. Each energy account had separate contract end dates, suppliers and tariffs. CBS informed Bridge McFarland of dates, deadlines and actions required. This saved the company much time, hassle and money as a result of allowing CBS to work on their behalf.
End Results
From when CBS were tasked to ensure that the energy costs were reduced CBS set about establishing all of the important information for each energy account to maximise reductions.
When action was required on any of the energy accounts CBS informed Bridge McFarland in order to effectively qualify for lower tariffs.
Bridge McFarland staff had time to concentrate on their other tasks knowing that the energy accounts were under control.
CBS have so far reduced the energy costs for Bridge McFarland to about £25,000 per year.
