Client B
Large multinational company in the construction industry (turnover £140m) based in the South East (19 sites in the UK), had employed cost reduction companies in the past with limited results and asked Atlantic to strategically review utilities, stationery and fixed line, initially in the UK only. The results were as follows:-
Gas: £230,000 spend annually, Atlantic identified 18% or £41,400 of savings in the first year.
Electricity: £455,000 spend annually, Atlantic identified 21% or £95,550 of savings in the first year.
Fixed Line: £750,000 spend on fixed line telephony annually. Atlantic identified savings of 38% of call costs and 15% of line rental. This equated to 35% overall or £262,500 per annum.
Stationery: £110,000 of spend on stationery. Atlantic identified savings of 21% or £23,100 annually. In addition we instigated a 3 month review of core stationery products purchased to ensure there were on-going benefits.
Mobiles: Our client has 380 mobiles across the group and is in a long term contract which we will review closer to their contract end date. We have introduced intelligent software which asset tracks the mobiles and allows up to 25% reduction of on-going costs. This system also electronically checks the contract prices against actual billing.
Client C
Communications Company based in Newcastle with a turnover of £35m has a total fixed telephone line cost of £37,656 annually. Atlantic identified savings for local and national numbers of 36.5% or £13,556. In addition, Atlantic introduced competitive call recording and call routing services resulting in a more efficient telesales operation.
Atlantic is currently investigating installing sophisticated telephony switches which will halve the cost of calling mobile numbers whilst still using the normal telephone system. This will save a further £809 per month.
Client D

Utilities: In these days of ever-changing, volatile priced markets of gas and electricity, it is sometimes difficult to achieve substantial cost reduction measures. It is sometimes our experience, to provide a ‘cost-containment’ solution for clients. We recently provided prices for Client D that was 20% more competitive than their existing utilities cost reduction company.
Client F
