After three decades in electrical wholesale and distribution — including area management across twelve branches of a national electrical wholesaler — I moved into business development consulting as an Auditel Associate Partner.

The transition wasn't a departure from the sector. It was a way to help electrical contractors and construction SMEs with challenges that were becoming harder to ignore: rising energy costs, procurement inefficiencies, and an increasingly complex carbon compliance landscape.

Most advisers in this space come from either the finance side (procurement and cost) or the sustainability side (carbon and ESG). Very few have both. Fewer still have hands-on experience of running a business in the construction supply chain.

As an Auditel Associate Partner, I have access to over 120 specialists across cost, energy and carbon — so you're not limited to what one person knows. You get a specialist network, delivered through a single point of contact who understands your world.

Auditel is one of the UK's leading cost, procurement and carbon solutions organisations. As an Associate Partner, I deliver Auditel's full service portfolio to clients across electrical contracting, M&E, and construction — with the support of specialist colleagues where needed.

This means you get the depth of a large consultancy with the accessibility of a local specialist. One relationship, one point of accountability.
