Reviews
Business Manager / Cox Green School

Rebate on an academy’s gas account

The reaction after we had secured a rebate on an academy’s gas account, against all odds: Your underwhelmed “quite pleased” is in contrast to my amazed delight!! Thank you for all your work on this – it’s great news

Caldicott School

They think ‘outside the box’

The big difference with The Cost Reduction Company is that they think ‘outside the box’ and are innovative about the way they approach potential areas in which to make savings.

Bursar / Cheam School and ISBA Committee Member

Saved me a lot of time and energy

I have found working with The Cost Reduction Company a beneficial experience as I would not normally engage these types of businesses in my school. They have very successfully recovered for us a considerable amount of money going back in time and put in place cost savings in the future. Most importantly their methods and processes they used have saved me a lot of time and energy through their expertise and detailed scrutiny. I highly recommend them to you.

Bursar / Bradfield College

Saved us significant sums

Bradfield College is a co-educational boarding school for 13 – 18 year olds. It is important to Bradfield that its overheads and costs are managed as efficiently as possible, so that its resources are focused on the education of its pupils. Bradfield has worked with The Cost Reduction Company over a number of years, during which they have saved us significant sums. We have found the company professional and easy to deal with. In particular they listened to and understood the particular needs of Bradfield

Business Manager / Altwood Church of England School

CRC were excellent

I would strongly recommend the CRC to any Academy Business Manager with contracts up for renewal. I asked the CRC for support with the renewal of 4 contracts: School Buses, Catering, Cleaning, Waste-Management. The CRC were excellent

School Manager / Highdown School and 6th Form Centre

No saving-no fee concept is ideal

I strongly recommend the Cost Reduction Company to any school or business looking to save money. They’re thorough and effective. They’re easy to work with; and their no saving-no fee concept is ideal

Head of Estates / Royal United Hospital Bath

Delivering savings

I approached the water project with The Cost Reduction Company with a lot of scepticism as we thought we had already exhausted the opportunities to reduce consumption. The Cost Reduction Company delivered precisely what they said they would; innovative technology, simple to maintain and delivering savings.

Director / Brook Hotels

CRC secured a deal for us

We asked the Cost Reduction Company to look at our existing Wines, Spirits, Beers, and Soft drinks supply contract with a view to renegotiating our punitive clauses and to introduce a potentially new supplier. After several months of negotiation CRC secured a deal for us. Without the drive, momentum and expertise of the Cost Reduction Company our new contract would never have been concluded. We now have a first class supplier, and are achieving not only savings, but also a larger volume of business

Professional and thoughtful

The Cost Reduction Company have successfully reduced the costs in our business by £200,000. We have found them very professional and thoughtful.
