The Challenge
Quest Academy asked us to review their water charges to ensure accuracy and value for money. During our initial checks, we found they were in an existing contract and unable to switch providers. However, we identified an opportunity to carry out a water audit to assess whether they were being billed correctly — with a focus on surface water drainage.
""We were really pleased with the outcome of the audit. Even though we couldn’t switch providers, the team were still able to find substantial overcharges and recover a refund we didn’t expect. It’s given us confidence in our billing and helped reduce our ongoing costs." "Business Manager, MacIntyre Academies
