Its not often that you can save £15,000 in overheads with one
phone call but thats what Hazel Healey managed. Hazel works for
Nigel Clarke, one of Birminghams largest accommodation providers
for the homeless, running 14 hostel residences as well as two
independent hotels.
Our business
gas and business electricity bills had
been escalating over the past few years and its not surprising when
you consider that at full occupancy there can be 415 people in
residence, all using hairdryers, bedside lights, kettles not to
mention lighting and heating.
Hazel of The Dormy Hotel, knew there was an opportunity to review
utility costs for the entire business but hit a brick wall when she
tried to get all their different suppliers to do one rate for the
sixteen different sites. She searched on the internet for a
business price comparison service and found Make It Cheaper. I
called up and spoke to Peter who was brilliant, said Hazel, He
managed to save us £15,000 year on our gas and electricity bills
and he did all the switching paperwork as well.
Nigel Clarke said, Hazel has made a massive contribution to the
business with one phone call - we strive to keep our costs down and
its more important than ever during this recession when our hostel
services are desperately needed.
