As part of our ongoing commitment to helping schools and academies identify cost-saving opportunities, I wanted to make you aware of a new partnership we have established with Eyebright Utilities, a specialist organisation with significant experience in the education sector, having already worked with more than 600 schools nationally.
This partnership gives schools access to a fully funded surface water audit at no cost, designed to identify:
- Potential historic overpayments that may be recoverable as refunds.
- Incorrect charging structures or billing anomalies.
- Opportunities for ongoing reductions in annual surface water costs.
Importantly, around 20% of schools audited receive a refund, alongside cost reductions moving forward.
To illustrate the scale of opportunity, we recently introduced this service to The Constellation Trust, where cost savings of over £35,000 were achieved for one of their schools.
With school budgets under continued pressure, this is a straightforward way to check whether you are entitled to a refund of overpayments and ongoing savings, without requiring budget allocation or creating additional workload for you or your team.
If you would like to explore whether you could benefit, please email info@tgesolutions.co.uk or contact us on 01937 420052, and we will arrange the next steps for you.
