The results are delivered rapidly and efficiently through the HWB Expense Control Purchasing Pool (please click on links above for partner profiles).

The Purchasing Pool comprises of a select group of reputable supplier-partners, all of whom are committed to delivering substantial savings over typical market prices across the most common overhead spend categories, from office supplies to utilities, insurances to foreign exchange. We also have access to senior procurement specialists from a wide range of industry backgrounds in support of our service. As a result, improved supply agreements through the Purchasing Pool typically delivers savings in excess of 20% across the board, in some cases as much as 50-60%.

Who can benefit from using HWB Expense Control?

Any business that accepts it probably does not have the resource, relationships or product expertise to keeps costs to a minimum, will benefit from this service.

How does it work?

We agree with you which areas of spend are to be addressed. Using information provided from your invoices and electronic data, we carry out a confidential, free of charge, no obligation costs audit on the prices you are paying. Through our Purchasing Pool partners, we then deliver improved supply agreements, which are typically implemented within four to six weeks of your initial enquiry.

Case study:

Manufacturing Company - £3 million turnover

Having agreed with the client the areas of spend to be addressed and having confirmed their requirements and expectations of any new supply arrangement, we worked with our supply-partners to propose and - upon client acceptance - implement improved agreements via the Purchasing Pool. The first savings and associated benefits were delivered within a matter of weeks. Nearly £35,000 per annum was being added to the bottom-line as a direct result of this exercise.

Selected spend categories:

• Office Supplies
• Print
• Utilities
• Printers/ Copiers
• Insurances

Results achieved:

• Previous Annual Spend £124,764
• Revised Annual Spend £ 89, 956
• Annual Saving £ 34,808
