“Auditel was my first choice”

13 May 2014

Cardiff-based John Palmer had many managerial roles throughout his career before joining the Auditel Cost Management Franchise. Most recently, he was the Global Manufacturing Director for Prism Medical Ltd. Prism are one of the largest providers and manufacturers of durable medical equipment and related services to the mobility challenged. They deal with Canada, the US and the UK. John’s overall responsibility was to ensure supply chain support for sales and to set budgets for manufacturing and purchasing. This included utilities, long-term supplier contracts, and costs related to labour.

Asked why he joined Auditel, John recalls: “I thought it was the only franchise out there that matched my varied skill set and their positive attitude just seemed to cap it off. Auditel was my first choice.”

John said that he and his fellow-newcomers enjoyed the training, which was intensive, well-defined and well-delivered. It was light-hearted at times, but contained a real work essence. He added: “There was plenty of time for questions and at the end, you knew what you had to do. It was highly enjoyable and enlightening!”

His broad range of project management experience in Manufacturing, Distribution and Supply Chain Management with SMEs and large multinational companies has been especially useful. He says: “It gave me an in-depth knowledge of how to work with organisations of all sizes and identify opportunities for lowering and managing business overheads.

“Since becoming an Auditel Consultant, I have delivered significant and sustainable savings in costs and management resources to the Hotel and Leisure and IT Industries and for the Commercial Property Sector. As a fully independent professional, I offer the best services for the needs of my clients. I can help them develop their businesses to full potential and allow them to achieve the long-term success they deserve.”
