You can enjoy considerable benefits by joining Auditel, from as little as just £22,000 providing a potentially huge return on investment whilst helping the planet too.

After my first year I already had fifteen clients and now have over twenty under management.  I have brought my partner into the business and ‘joint venture’ project work with my Auditel colleagues too so I can focus on client management.  I already have in excess of £150k per year in income streams with scope for more.  Carbon management is becoming high on the agenda for UK businesses for all kinds of reasons, and Auditel has a compelling offering.  The training and support I have received since starting has been superb and I’m enjoying the wide-ranging benefits that an Auditel business offers.” Julie Adams, Auditel Partner

An Auditel Franchise Can Be Ideal For People From Diverse Backgrounds

Auditel is a collaborative network of over 120 franchised partners who have come from varied backgrounds but usually at senior-management or director level. By playing to their strengths, Partners can work together to deliver procurement, supply chain management and carbon solutions to organisations of wide-ranging industry sectors and sizes.

Auditel can suit people from all industry sectors and areas of expertise. You do not need to be an accountant or a procurement specialist! Auditel offers a broad array of ‘pathways’ to suit your skills, experience and business objectives. This means that if you enjoy client management and business development you can focus your business on these areas and utilise the expertise of other Auditel Partners who can deliver the project management aspects.

Equally, if you have experience and knowledge in certain areas, for example, Logistics, Packaging or Waste Management, you can develop this expertise with Auditel and over time, undertake projects for other affiliates alongside your own client activities.

You can play to your strengths in Auditel, though every Partner is thoroughly trained and supported ongoing in all aspects of the business.

I started to outsource to make the most of my time. I quickly realised I couldn’t do everything, so I used the Auditel network to partner with colleagues who were most suitable to my projects. This freed me to focus on bigger businesses, bigger projects, and I could choose to work with senior partners, so, it’s produced some great results for the 50:50 partnerships. I have some clients who I still have twelve, fourteen years on. My clients’ satisfaction is evident in the longevity of our working relationships.”  Gill Gibbon

Auditel can achieve for their clients’ incredible results that any business just can’t achieve by themselves – through cost category expertise, supplier and pricing knowledge, and collated buying power. This creates long-term income streams with flexible fee-earning methods including share of savings, retainer, fixed fee and day rate options.
