You’re hired!

A leading team of financial advisors was so impressed by cost savings it made when it consulted two advisors, it hired them.

Chartered accountants Harrison Beale and Owen, which has offices in Coventry and Leamington, has added the cost management service to its portfolio and has taken on the two people responsible for delivering it.

Adam Gillett and David Kendall have joined HB&O as cost management advisors after helping to save their new employers over £15,000 by reducing bills for services such as stationery and utilities.

Savings in over 80 other areas of spend are possible for some firms and since joining the firm the pair have reduced one of HB&O’s client’s costs by over £100,000. The service, which aims to be completely self-funding by outweighing its cost with the savings it makes, is now being offered by HB&O to its clients.

Rob Kendall, managing director of HB&O, said: “Having benefitted from this service directly, we could instantly see the value to our clients and moved quickly to bring Adam and David onto the team.

“We have always strived to be a one-stop-shop for financial services, and introducing cost management to our wide range of services is the latest step towards this goal.

“This new service has already helped deliver substantial savings within our organisation and now we are looking forward to our clients reaping the same rewards.”
