• Specialist Cost Management and Supplier Reduction
• Cost and Interim Management

About Us

Who are we
e-impensa was set up by Ken Howard to assist small companies and organisations with reducing their supplier costs concentrating on a limited number of areas within each business. Over a short period of time and with some notable successes, it became clear that we could apply the same model across a wider range of sub-divisions on any sized organisation to make significant savings and reduce overall running costs.
Unlike a lot of Cost Management or Cost Analysis companies e-impensa do not charge based on a percentage of the amount saved. In our experience, this type of charging model can be a strong motivator for companies operating in this sector who are focused on short term gains rather than the long haul. At e-impensa we take a long term view that is sustainable and beneficial to both our clients as well as suppliers and have a simple fixed rate charging model that is tailored to suit our clients needs.
We pride ourselves in providing a first class service to help and support our clients run a cost effective operation. On that basis, our initial review is absolutely free apart from the time you invest in helping us to understand your business and so that we can assess and size potential opportunities.
Whether you are looking for opportunities to cut your operating costs or just need senior management support with a proven track record for delivering success, e-impensa can help you meet your objectives quickly and efficiently at the lowest possible cost.
e-impensa is bound by its own code of practice and strives to provide exceptional service to all its clients.
Our aim is to work in partnership with your company to identify cost savings which will improve your bottom line. We want to build a relationship that is beneficial to both companies and to sustain this working partnership for years to come.


What we offer our clients
We offer our clients two types of bespoke services which can be selected individually or combined. First is a Cost Management and Supplier Reduction service and secondly an Interim Management service. All information will be treated strictly confidential and will not be used or shared with any other parties. A Non-Disclosure Agreement can be signed on demand to protect the clients interests.

Cost Management and Supplier Reduction

We work in tandem with our clients to identify areas within the business where there may be opportunities to realise cost savings and then drill into these in detail to determine potential gains and how these can be achieved. All recommendations will be presented back to the client for approval before any changes are implemented.

Typical areas covered include;
Vendor/Supplier costs
Resources (manpower) Telephony
Utilities (water, gas, electric)
Vehicle Hire or Leasing
Payment terms & Aged Debt



Interim Management

Our interim management service is the temporary provision of management resources and skills to manage a period of transition, crisis or change within an organisation. We specialise in the management and delivery of bespoke projects and can provide a new and fresh approach to our clients without the need for long term employment contracts.

Interim management

Is the temporary provision of management resources and skills. Interim management can be seen as the short-term assignment of a proven heavyweight interim executive manager to manage a period of transition, crisis or change within an organization. In this situation, a permanent role may be unnecessary or impossible to find on short notice. Additionally, there may be nobody internally who is suitable for, or available to take up, the position in question.
