Auditel Franchise Partner Testimonials
An array of quotes and comments from Auditel Franchise Partners who are all at different stages of progress within their Auditel businesses, reflecting different goals and objectives, and benefits being realised.
Guy Longmore (joined Auditel August 2024)
“I have just picked up (in December) my fourth client. It’s still early days of course, but I’m ahead of the expectations I set myself back in the summer. I have very much enjoyed getting out and seeing people, and the networking events and shows I’ve attended have proved great for learning and have brought me one or two clients. There’s a lot more I want to do in 2025, and I look forward to building on the positive start I’ve made. More than anything, the world of carbon work sits very comfortably with me – I’m learning every day, enjoying the work, and more determined than ever about making a positive difference to business and the planet.”
David Parker (joined June 2024)
“I joined Auditel only in Summer 2024, but already I have four clients secured and have others in the pipeline too. I’m also learning so much about such an important subject, and being able to support my clients on their Net Zero journey is really rewarding. I’m loving my Auditel business already and am excited about my long-term potential and opportunities!”
Ravi Khakhria (joined October 2007)
“I’m happy, my business offers me a great income, a lifestyle with my family that I always wanted and a level of professional variety that I love. I love being part of the Auditel network. You’re working with a lot of exceptionally talented and genuinely nice people. I totally underestimated this side of the franchise during my due diligence, but working with other people is so valuable and the opportunity to learn from them and constantly develop your own skills is fantastic.”
Martene Coe (Joined September 2017)
“I have been part of Auditel for nearly 8 years and the business has evolved massively in that time. As an Accountant by training, I have learned so much about the carbon solutions world and never stop developing as it’s such a fast moving and important sector. The impact of the work I do now is so purposeful and fulfilling for me personally to make a difference through the projects I deliver. My Auditel business allows me to have great flexibility for my family, whilst also providing impressive financial returns as I have added more clients and projects thanks to all the carbon opportunities in the last few years. I’m excited for the future, and love being part of the Auditel network.”
David Wilshin (joined January 2022)
“I’m just coming to the end of my third year with Auditel, and I’m delighted with my decision. I have a great client base, and choose my opportunities that just keep adding new layers of income streams to my business providing a personal income over £100,000 per year, but the finances weren’t the main driver for me I love my work/life balance now. Perhaps best of all, what I do really matters, it has great purpose. Making a difference to the planet through projects that are helping my clients to reduce carbon emissions and work towards Net Zero is rewarding in so many ways. Joining Auditel has been the best decision of my career.”
Nicky Sinker (joined December 2023)
“I had achieved a lot in my executive career but wanted more freedom and control so explored franchising. I had seen a few options but came across Auditel at the Olympia franchise show. I wanted something b2b to use my professional skills but discovering Auditel’s opportunity for making a difference through delivering carbon footprinting and reduction services really leapt out at me. After about a year I have twelve clients, about half of which are on monthly retainers and others on project fees, workshops or other fee structures. I’m still growing my business but everything is going very well and am excited for the future.”
Julie Adams (joined November 2022)
“After 18-months I’ve got a great client base and am growing my business further through leveraging the network of my Auditel Franchisee colleagues for project delivery. I’m way ahead of my business plan and have contracted income well into six-figures and still increasing! There is huge demand for Auditel’s services so now is the ideal time for others to start a new Auditel business. I’m achieving the financial rewards and better work/life balance I desired.”
Stephen Sowerby (joined March 2011)
“I enjoy a six-figure income every year but for me, the best thing about owning my own business is the flexibility. I work hard but I have much more freedom now. The business allows me to enjoy time with my family that’s more of our choosing – and that means anything from taking holidays and travelling when it suits us, to being able to stay active and play sports without feeling guilty.”
Andy Buxton (joined September 2024)
“I’m delighted with the start of my Auditel business. I joined as an Associate Partner but within about six months already have five clients secured, on long-term monthly retainer fees, and have some strong proposals out that I hope to convert within the next month or so. I’m already looking at upgrading to the Full Partner Business as I can see the excellent long-term benefits. The support I have received from head office team and wider network has been fantastic.”
David James (joined August 2020)
“Myself and Huw (Williams) started as a partnership back in August 2020, right in the midst of Covid and under lockdown! Overcoming early hurdles we quickly developed our business and were early adopters of carbon solutions, and played a key role in Auditel’s development in this space, and it’s relationship with BSI. Our business has transformed significantly from our initial plans, and now, four years later we have an established office set-up in Cardiff, with five excellent staff members. Our team are leading specialists in delivering carbon footprint reports and services to the wider Auditel franchisee network, under ‘joint ventures’. Our business continues to grow, and our goal is to become the largest Auditel franchise within the next two years. It’s been hard work but we are now reaping the benefits and rewards we desired, and the future looks very exciting.”
Mike Andrews (joined February 2005)
“I joined Auditel over twenty years ago and the efforts I have given both at the start and throughout my business, combined with Auditel’s resources and network, have enabled me to have the work/life balance and other benefits desire. I am able to enjoy great flexibility in my business whist still able to take a significant six-figure income. I have long-term client relationships and collaborate on joint ventures with my Auditel colleagues. Whilst the business has evolved a lot over the years, with Carbon Solutions in addition to wider Procurement, Cost and Energy Management, the opportunity within Auditel today is arguably even greater than ever”
