It has been a pleasure working with Collective Purchasing over many years. The team are always happy to help us to find the best possible prices and quality of produce and resources. We have always been kept reliably informed about the changing market and especially through the challenging and uncertain times of the Pandemic. Collective purchasing’s support has meant that we can devote more of our time to the practical care and support of our residents. I would highly recommend this service.
Ever since Collective purchasing contacted us in the first quarter of this year, we knew we were in good hands. Bethany and Laura understood our concerns about rising operating costs and through their network of suppliers have saved us money across all aspects of our business. They are very approachable, professional, dependable and above all understand the care industry.
Collective Purchasing have been a dynamic and proactive partner of the Fremantle Trust for many years. The partnership is based on openness, professionalism and a drive to get the best choice from suppliers for our service users but at a commercial price to give our Charity great value.
With the global uncertainty and the costs of living rising, there is not one company I would want to work with other than Collective Purchasing. We took on a recommendation in 2017 and we have never looked back. Today the service provided is consistent, accurate and enables us to get the best value out of the market, by buying as part of their collective group we win every time.
We have been working with Collective Purchasing now since 2010, after initially saving us £15,000 per annum on our groups grocery & frozen supply, they now review our spend closely every quarter identifying further ways to save. They have a consistent relationship with our homes on a personal level and assist in rolling out money saving product changes and saving advice directly to our chefs regularly.
