BCR Associates is a cost management consultancy that works with SMEs and larger corporate companies throughout the lifetime of their business to increase efficiency, manage risk, ensure compliance and rationalise essential procurement costs.
In an ever-changing economy where financial uncertainty is rife, businesses face many challenges and increasing pressure to reduce essential spend, streamline internal processes and remain compliant with current legislations. Protecting businesses from potential risk and keeping control of business overheads is crucial to maximising growth and long-term profitability.
BCR Associates was formed in 2005 and since then our supply chain has grown from strength to strength. We now have a panel of over 40 suppliers, furnishing us with the ability to help clients streamline essential spend across eight key service areas: energy, telecoms, business supplies, insurance, finance, water, HR and H&S and vehicles. Rather than focusing on just one of these service areas, our holistic approach means that we analyse our client’s purchase ledger to identify where savings and efficiencies can be made across all our service areas. We offer our expertise and procurement strategies to businesses nationwide.
BCR Associates provide a fully managed service and work with businesses across a broad spectrum of industry sectors but with particular expertise in manufacturing, professional services, care, retail, education and hospitality. We understand that every business is different and are sympathetic to the unique set of challenges that each sector faces. Our team of experienced consultants and panel of suppliers allow us to offer bespoke client solutions, fine-tune operations and set the foundations for future growth and stability.
Richard Dormer, Managing Director of BCR Associates, comments: “As a business owner, I understand the importance of effective cost management. Our objective is to help organisations to become more profitable through assisting with procurement strategies, freeing up precious resource and time so that Owners/Managers can concentrate on front-line duties. We are delighted to be awarded ‘Cost Management Consulting Firm of the Year’ as it is a testament to our hard work and dedication to our clients. We look forward to helping more businesses in the future.”
We are proud of the long-standing relationships that we have built with our clients over the years and BCR Associates are the profit improvement consultants of choice for thousands of businesses around the UK. Our unique business model offers a no-obligation review of a business’s cost base and returns 100% of savings identified to the client. Our aim is to become a key part of our client’s outsourced management team.
Going forward we will continue to build trusted business relationships with our clients, helping to improve profitability, reduce overheads and implement watertight procurement strategies across our network.
