Eight Auditel Cost Management Consultants Create a Remarkable Team

Success in joint-venturing

One of the features within the Auditel network is ‘joint venturing’, which enables Affiliates to combine their talents and expertise.

This offers clients a multi-faceted solution, managing the array of costs for organisations large and small, in any market sector. 

Meet the Team… Mike and Louisa

Mike Keig, who leads the practice, spent 20 years in Engineering and Packaging Business Development and General Management. He says: “Our team members are all highly-experienced Auditel consultants. Luisa Keig held a number of Senior Graphic Design roles, before starting her own successful design business and then joining Auditel. 

“We have two chartered accountants, with a huge amount of practical business involvement. David Kendall, who qualified with PwC and held several corporate level positions within the Saint-Gobain Group and Geoff Syme, who worked in New Zealand and America across a wide range of clients and cost sectors.

“Covering technology, we have Denis Brennan, with many years as a Project Manager, with large scale IT projects for both national and multi-national businesses. In the retail and distribution sector, we have Martin Wallis, who was responsible for planning and supply chain management for leading retailers, such as BHS and Asda.

“Those essential non-core costs and the manufacturing sector are managed by Chris Anderton. Chris owned a successful paper and board packaging company for 25 years, which enables him to advise other business owners and directors.”

“Finally, we have Simon Gibson, with a wide range of key management positions within the Royal Air Force. These included Business Improvement, Supply Chain, Catering and Personnel Management.”

Mike says: “The extensive experience within our consultancy has enabled us to be fully equipped to manage all the business costs for professional, commercial and educational organisations. Savings, of course, are extremely welcome, but our clients feel that the major benefit is having a specialist acting as part of their purchasing team. We have become a trusted advisor to these companies and continue to provide ongoing reporting and monitoring. We always try to go the extra mile, look at their overall needs, and highlight opportunities for them.”
