Facilities Management Awards 2017

Build 2017 Facilities Management Awards 18 ormed in 2012, Ebit is an award-winning procurement consultancy with a multi-faceted national client base from varying industries. Amy discusses the firm’s service offering and the clients it works with in more detail. “Here at Ebit, our extensive experience and range of market intelligence gained from a £40bn+ turnover client base provides us with unrivalled insight into savings opportunities. We work closely with clients who have turnovers ranging from millions to the multi-billions. This provides us with essential insight into potential savings opportunities applicable to all types and sizes of businesses. “When the firm was first established, we initially carved out a real niche in the retail space and are now seeing extensive growth across various additional sectors. Today, Ebit’s clients span across the retail, hospitality, manufacturing, property, charity, and education sectors; we also work with several private-equity backed businesses. We are fortunate to work with many great brands – most of which can be found on our website here: www.ebitbusinesssolutions.com . 2017 has also seen numerous companies decide to outsource Procurement work to Ebit on a longer-term basis due to our level of expertise and ultimately payback.” Innovation is a key part of the firm’s service offering, therefore it is always creating new products to meet its clients’ needs, as Amy explains. “To ensure that we provide our clients with the very latest solutions, at Ebit we are always seeking to innovate. As such, in 2016 we launched Aderes, our bespoke and very own class leading contracts database product. Feedback from clients has been superb and growth excellent. The product is predominately offered via a managed service whereby Ebit will load all contracts onto the system, notify stakeholders of contract renewal dates, and proactively utilise our extensive market intelligence to benchmark against contracts that are due for renewal. In a nutshell, the product changes companies’ governance practically overnight to provide advance warning of when contracts need to be renewed, provides insight with regards to potential savings and it’s no surprise that we have seen such great growth.” What sets the firm apart is its dedication to offering only the highest possible levels of customer service. As such, it is no surprise that Amy is eager to emphasise how the firm works to support its clients and meet their needs. “At Ebit we place great importance on delivering a superb level of service. We work with our suppliers to ensure that our high standards are consistently met. Whilst cost reduction is important, we will always look to implement the most holistic and appropriate solution for each of our clients for the duration of each contract we tender. We look beyond savings to consider efficiencies, risk exposure etc. Ultimately new business is won on the basis of our reputation; we will always strive to deliver and go beyond client expectations where possible. “Fundamentally, our high standards and unrivalled market intelligence combined with our direct approach means that we have never lost a client. We don’t just identify savings opportunities; we deliver them. Ebit’s absolute retail expertise makes us stand out from our competitors. We work with great brands, and are due to start work with our 69th, 70th, and 71st retail clients this month. Our relationship with clients tends to be long term. It is usual for clients to ask us back to perform a 2nd, 3rd or 4th piece of work over many years due to the previous great results achieved.” Looking ahead, Ebit has a number of developments on the horizon that will allow it to grow and flourish, as Amy concludes. “Currently, Ebit is achieving over 50% growth year on year, and moving forward we are 100% committed to continuing this success into 2018 and beyond. Our new offices in Dorset have ample room to expand the team, and as such we are excited for the future of our business.” Best for IT Systems Procurement Consulting Services - United Kingdom & Excellence Award for Marketing Procurement Consulting Services - United Kingdom Ebit Business Solutions is a leading procurement consultancy with a proven track record in cost savings and revenue generation for both medium and large scale businesses in the UK.
