Off to a flying start!

Off to a flying start! Liam Gahan, Auditel franchise owner in South East Ireland, is off to a flying business start. Just three months in, he’s already signed his first set of clients and has been networking to gain even more. With Ireland’s largest charity organisation waiting to use his services, Liam looks set for a successful future with the backing of Auditel’s people, tools, knowledge and processes.

As an aspiring business owner, Liam had been looking to set up his own business for quite some time but hadn’t been sure how to go about it.

“When I had talked about setting up my own business, my friends and family had advised me to wait a few years to build up a network around me before going it alone. I had been looking for a new venture when Auditel came along and I just felt that the time was right for me. I thought if I waited then something would always come up to stop me from taking the plunge,” explains Liam.

Auditel is the UK’s pioneer of strategic cost management. Auditel assist and educate their clients to make smarter buying and management decisions, leading to great working relationships with suppliers, business longevity and growth. Franchisees become valuable, outsourced board level members of the companies they serve.

Liam has found the support at Auditel immeasurable and is glad he didn’t decide to go it alone. He’s found the power of the brand and network to be paramount in helping him to gain business and win new clients.

“The support from Auditel has been great. That’s the major difference between starting on your own and starting with Auditel and their support. I’d hate to think of starting on my own now because it’s a more serious move to make without the support network behind you. You have the advantage of being able to sell the Auditel network as well as yourself when you’re approaching clients,” adds Liam.

“When you’re talking to clients and trying to pitch to them that you can specialise in 125 cost management areas, it just doesn’t work. If you have the links and contacts with 200+ affiliates and their experience, that’s immeasurable to clients.”

Founded in 1994, Auditel have over 20 years’ experience in strategic cost management. Their award-winning business model has been successfully replicated by over 200 consultants who proudly serve more than 3,000 clients in almost every sector of the economy. Nationwide, franchisees enjoy the benefits of a trusted, proven brand whilst being supported by a team of experts in all essential business disciplines.
