Overview

James Fleming & Co manufacture specialist products for the bakery, pastry and confectionery industries. The two individual brands, Flemings and Mather’s, are renowned world-wide for quality and excellence.

Situation

James Fleming & Co were using heavy fuel oil to produce steam at their factory near Edinburgh (Fleming’s). To reduce their costs, improve the availability of supplies, and to reduce their carbon emissions, the client decided to replace the heavy fuel oil with mains gas and to convert the boilers. They appointed us to obtain competitive prices for installing the new gas supply and updating the boilers. They also asked us to provide recommendations on ways to reduce water costs for Mather’s.

Solution

The Boxfish team managed the tender process to ensure the client was receiving the best deal possible.

The team also investigated water consumption in order to identify ways to reduce water costs. Upon visiting the site, we discovered that water meters of the wrong sizes were being used.

Replacement of machinery resulted in James Fleming & Co saving thousands of pounds per annum on their running costs, as well as using less energy and significantly reducing carbon emissions.

We also identified further savings through overcharges and trade effluent.

Annual water savings

Boxfish have been managing our utilities for over 8 years. During that time they have saved us tens of thousands of pounds on our utility costs. I was very pleasantly surprised when they managed to save us about £42,000 on one project—the installation of a new gas supply. One of the main benefits to myself and my team however has been the reduction in hassle, we know we can rely on Boxfish to look after our interests in the time-consuming and frustrating business of dealing with all our utility suppliers.
