The http://www.auditelfranchise.co.uk/ concept was developed on the premise that all organisations pay for essential services. Utilities & telecommunications are 2 of those costs & 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 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 & purchase management consultancy that could focus independently on the essential services to cut through the confusion that UK businesses were facing.
Since then Auditel has been training professionals into self employment & is now the leading cost & purchase management franchise.
