David Powell — CEO
We're a professional services advisory firm specialising in reducing both your cost base and your carbon footprint. One or the other or both together. Our niche is indirect spends be that, energy, telecoms, waste, logistics, merchant cards, capital allowances. It's not just buying it's reduction too. e.g. Shipping 9 pallets instead of 10 (but same quantity of product) is a 100% saving on cost of 1 pallet which beats saving a few pounds per pallet but still buying 10. On energy a kWh not consumed (21p-ish) is better than saving 1p off per kWh on your energy contract. My business motto: "To do what is right and fair by the client even if it doesn't seem to be profitable, expedient or conventional." If you do that, then the fees always drop out the bottom we find.
