“Fitzers is a Dublin institution and the name is synonymous with elegance and fine food. As a member of the Restaurants Association of Ireland we decided to use the services of their affinity scheme called RAI Power, which is operated by Utility Saver, and this reduced our energy costs by an average of 18%. As we continue to lower our operating costs this enables us to provide an even more competitive offering to our diners in our three restaurants.” Tony Fitzers, CEO, Fitzers Restaurant Group “Fallon’s Bar and Café availed of the services of Utility Saver as part of the Restaurants Association of Ireland affinity scheme RAI Power. We achieved valuable savings for our electricity, natural gas and telecommunications accounts and the overall service was very impressive. In addition, Fallon’s Bar and Café are now even more environmentally sustainable as a large percentage of our electricity is sourced from renewable wind power.” Mary O’Neill, Finance Manager, Fallon’s Bar and Café “The Restaurants Association of Ireland has over 500 members nationwide and we pride ourselves on providing an essential service to our restaurateurs. One aspect of being an RAI member is that we facilitate valuable savings by way of reduced costs for our members’ most important services. As a result of the industry we operate in we have very high standards and after a highly competitive tender process we decided to partner with Utility Saver at the beginning of 2009. Utility Saver uses technology to provide an independent and free service of reducing electricity, natural gas, telecoms and broadband costs, amongst other services, while also reducing the carbon footprint of our restaurant members. We are delighted with the successes and benefits achieved to date.” Adrian Cummins, CEO, Restaurants Association of Ireland “AllinAll Ingredients operates a state-of-the-art food ingredients manufacturing plant. Operating on the Irish and foreign markets it is critical we control our costs tightly. We used Utility Saver to reduce our electricity and natural gas costs by 15% while lowering our CO₂ emissions at the same time. A very satisfactory service which greatly helps us to be competitive in the markets we serve.” Daniel Hickey, Managing Director, AllinAll Ingredients “ALcontrol Laboratories, a pan-European and leading Environment and Food Testing group, operates in Dublin. Service levels are essential to us and therefore we have to choose our suppliers carefully. We decided to use the services of Utility Saver as an independent utilities brokerage in early 2009. Utility Saver started the process by lowering our electricity bill alone by €17,000 per annum while transferring our account to a green electricity supplier. Green credentials are very important to ALcontrol and this matched our operating standards commitment to the environment perfectly. Overall, the savings achieved combined with the service levels provided to us were very impressive.” Greg McHale, Service Centre Manager, ALcontrol Laboratories “Utility Saver is an independent agent of the Imagine Communications Group and transfers valued business to our group companies. We also chose to utilise the services of Utility Saver for our three offices and energy-hungry data centre to reduce our substantial electricity and natural gas costs. The result was a significant reduction in both our costs and our CO₂ emissions combined with a fast and efficient service. We were particularly impressed at the level of savings that Utility Saver achieved for our energy costs. We will also be availing of the energy analysis and management programs provided through Utility Saver in the future as an after-sales service. In summary, a very valuable service to businesses.” Elaine Meighan, Purchasing Manager, Imagine Communications Group “Due to our various underground network construction and retrofitting projects in operation we incur high utility costs. We were attracted to the independent and unique service provided by Utility Saver which resulted in a substantial and immediate saving of about 25% for our electricity, natural gas and mobile costs. The necessary changes were implemented fast and I would definitely recommend the Utility Saver service.” Alan Byrne, Project Manager, Eco Revival Ireland “STUDIO NEGRI is an architectural firm that focuses on designing green sustainable buildings. As a direct result of the importance we place on reducing our carbon footprint, we decided to use only green electricity for future consumption. We identified Utility Saver as a very progressive company in the renewable energy sector and we have achieved a welcome saving for our energy costs. We are very satisfied with the end result which is a reduction in both our carbon emissions and our operating costs. The entire process was effortless and comes highly recommended.” André Negri, Architect, Studio Negri
