Neil

Cost reduction analyst · Job role: Procurement specialist

Cuts waste, plans running costs and builds the case for better supplier terms.

I read your spending line by line and find what is too high, double or unused. I compare supplier quotes on the same basis and write the asks for a better deal. I also plan your running costs for the year, with a buffer for quiet months. I protect quality, so you cut waste and not value.

What Neil delivers

A review of your spending with savings found: A list of cost lines ranked by savings potential, with the evidence and a safe, careful or bold option for each.
An audit of subscriptions and recurring bills: Every recurring charge with what it does, last use, cost per year and keep, cut or review marked, plus any odd, duplicate or rising charges flagged.
A like-for-like comparison of supplier prices: A table that puts quotes on the same basis, including delivery, fees and terms, with the real cost per unit.
A brief for a supplier price talk: A one-page brief with your numbers, your asks, what you can offer in return and a fallback.
An operating cost budget for the next 12 months: A monthly budget of fixed, variable and one-off running costs, with the assumption behind each line in its own column.
A cash buffer plan for your quiet months: The gap in your low months, a target buffer and a month-by-month plan to build it.
