Auditel’s High Quality Carbon Solutions
Auditel support clients in navigating their path to Carbon Neutrality, but a double-benefit is that it can be funded through the cost savings in procurement from within the business that Auditel also achieve.
By combining the expertise of Auditel’s own Carbon Strategy Group and partnering with British Standards Institute (BSI) they are assisting clients towards the only internationally recognised standard, PAS2060. “Specification for the demonstration of carbon neutrality”, positioned to clients as a simplified 4-step process.
Auditel franchise partners can generate revenue through a mix of monthly retainer fees and fixed fee projects and then also develop a range of additional income streams that will be developed alongside. Carbon is also great for cash flow as you’ll start billing at the outset of the client engagement.
“I started approaching clients by leading with carbon solutions in October 2001. By February 2022 I had already secured seven new clients all paying me monthly retainers totalling nearly £100k per year, and I had more clients sign throughout the year. By the end of 2022, I had more clients than I could manage by myself, so I ‘joint venture’ the project work with my Auditel colleagues. Carbon acts as the ‘door opener’ from which procurement and cost management projects then come on top. The financial rewards are enormous, in January 2023 I’ve billed over £25k alone, but I feel great about the impact of the work that I do, especially the positive environmental impact – I’m passionate and proud about helping businesses manage and reduce carbon emissions.“ - Sean Connaughton, Auditel Partner
Powerful Procurement Solutions
Auditel Partners boost cash-flow within their client’s business by saving money through better procurement, process improvement or identifying how technology can play a greater part in their business.
Auditel deliver ‘best value’, saving client’s money, increasing profit, and making a tangible difference. The savings made can also fund complimentary projects such as carbon management solutions including investing in renewable energy solutions, purchasing carbon offsets or becoming verified carbon neutral by trusted partners such as BSI and NQA. Procurement and carbon go ‘hand in hand’ and Auditel are very unique in offering both service offerings that are both in such high demand at the moment.
Auditel can achieve for their clients’ incredible results that any business just can’t achieve by themselves – through cost category expertise, supplier and pricing knowledge, and collated buying power. This creates long-term income streams with flexible fee-earning methods including share of savings, retainer, fixed fee and day rate options.
An Auditel Business Can Be Ideal For People From Diverse Backgrounds
Auditel is a collaborative network of around 100 franchised partners who have come from varied backgrounds but usually at senior-management or director level.

Auditel welcome three new franchise partners in January
Based near Portsmouth, David Wilshin explored Auditel in late 2021 and decided to leave the corporate world to start his own business. He explains “I have been in employment roles in business development in the automotive insurance sector for most of my career, and I had reached the point where I wanted to have more control and flexibility in my life. I’ve worked hard, but ultimately the greatest reward for my efforts goes to my employer.”
He continues “When I started exploring franchising, and came across Auditel, it just made sense and felt the right fit for me. Helping organisations to achieve best value across their spending is something in which there will always be opportunities, but it was the ability to deliver carbon solutions that really stood out for me. I was so impressed by everything I saw and everyone I spoke to, and now I’m just buzzing about completing my training. I’ve already had my first prospective client meeting on which I was supported by one of the experienced Auditel leadership team, in my very first week after the initial block of training!”
David is joined on the induction programme by Yorkshire-based Michael Hogarth. Michael has had a great deal of experience in mechanical engineering in the oil and gas sector, and having spent some of his career in Norway.
He explains “I didn’t want to go back into the employment world again. I’d had some experience in self-employment earlier in my career and wanted to be able to build a business of my own again. The Auditel model fits well with my skills and interests, and I love that I can ‘joint-venture’ projects and activities with other franchisees so that I can focus on the areas of the business that I feel best suited to, and link up with other franchisees who can compliment me. It's a great model.”
John Gerard, from Newbury on the Hants/Berks border is the third new Auditel ‘Affiliate’. After a successful career in leadership roles in the IT/Communications/Technology sector, John was also drawn to Auditel by the scale of opportunity to deliver solutions and make a difference to clients.
John outlines why the client offering is so strong “It’s very exciting. We can provide clients with a full carbon management plan, starting with the carbon footprint report, and going right through the subsequent reduction and offset process to achieve 3rd-party validated carbon neutrality. What really makes the Auditel approach unique and what I believe will be a clincher with clients is that we can deliver carbon solutions that can be funded through the savings we are making for them across other areas of their business through all aspects of procurement and cost management. It’s a win-win scenario and I can’t wait to start engaging with businesses and developing my own client base.”
Nick Tubb, Head of Partner Recruitment, comments “I’m delighted to welcome John, Michael and David to the Auditel community. They each have varying skills and knowledge but most importantly the drive and desire to develop their own business, with our support. I’m very excited for them, as they are themselves. Now is such a good time to be joining Auditel, receptiveness for our services is extremely high and the market opportunity is enormous and will be for years to come.”
He adds “It's hugely exciting that our carbon solutions are having such an impact. This has been years in development and is only possible due to the amazing expertise and knowledge of some members of our franchise network, coupled with the passion and enthusiasm of the Auditel team. Energy management and sustainability projects have been running for many years in Auditel so this is not new to us, but incorporating carbon as a core service alongside procurement services is a unique advantage to Auditel that benefits our clients and our franchise partners. Proof of this is David already having had his first meeting on which he was fully supported, and he hasn’t even finished training yet!”
