Our recently appointed Client Services Manager has been busy helping our clients make savings on their business’s overheads. In this blog, we’ll show you how he was able to save members of The Bodyshop Fellowship significant sums of money.
The Bodyshop Fellowship is an organisation that supports Bodyshop’s across the UK. Having heard of the cost-cutting services we provide, Andy Gillett, Director of The Bodyshop Fellowship approached us to ask if we could help any of its members to save on their overheads.
He began contacting the members to identify if any savings could be made. As was expected, the majority of the Bodyshop’s our manager contacted were paying more than they needed to.
How much were we able to save the members?
Here are some of the key savings we were able to make:
- £4,000 off insurance for Ian Wilson from Cleveland Body & Paint
- £2,500 off gas for steering group member, Rick Kerry of Ipswich
- £4,000 off electricity, £500 off gas and £700 telecoms saving identified for Carl Winterbottom from New Mill Motorbody Repairs
- £1,645 off telecoms, £300 off electricity and £345 off gas for James Gore of Adamsons Vehicle Care Centre
- £930 off gas for Andrew Wright
“My savings are £2,674 per year so I would need to repair 100 cars to get that money back… and that’s on gas alone! I think the lower the fixed overheads are the better equipped we are to survive. The new contracts will not just help us survive but thrive.”
