Case Study: Ego Restaurants achieves competitive utilities savings and reduced risk with Auditel

Expert utilities management for Ego Restaurants

Ego Restaurants faced challenges with its energy contracts, including being out of contract on high rates, lack of competitive tendering, and hidden broker fees. Finance Director Julie Leigh was initially wary of external consultants but engaged vendor Auditel to review and manage the company's utilities to reduce costs and risk.

Auditel implemented a strategic, risk-managed approach to energy procurement, spreading contract end dates across Ego's 35+ meters to minimize market exposure. The solution included securing competitive contracts, auditing invoices for refunds, installing smart meters, and introducing a water monitoring system that identified a major leak. This provided Ego with significant savings, ongoing administrative support, and the confidence that its utilities were being managed competitively and efficiently.
