Purchasing Consultancy
Specialising in purchasing consultancy for financial and professional services firms, our services can range from simple short term support for your purchasing department through to the implementation and management of a complete purchasing transformation exercise with significant bottom line targets.
In order to gain your confidence in our abilities we would normally
start with a commodity review in a specific cost area and gain a few quick
wins for you, all the time obtaining a better understanding of the culture
of your organisation.
Having demonstrated success in this area, we can, if agreed, move onto the process which will add most value: the purchasing transformation exercise.
Brief Case Histories
A well known Global Asset Management firm
Horizon spent a few short weeks in the office services area and made highly satisfactory savings with a few small projects. This led to a major project where we identified the opportunities across the organisation and implemented a project resulting in a bottom line contribution in excess of £4 million. The company was delighted with both the savings and the improved quality of the goods and services delivered.
A Global Investment Bank
An example of a smaller project. We successfully helped an investment bank coordinate their Market Data spend. Like all our projects we were happy to guarantee that our fees would not exceed the savings which we are happy to do as our projects will typically pay for themselves many times over.
Whilst we do not publish specific client names here, a list of recent clients is available on request. If you would like a copy, or would simply like an informal chat then please email us at info@horizon-associates.com.
