Client testimonial

Because of the level of detail and operational options that the consultants’ report was able to provide for the School, it assisted us with our decision to move to an in-house operated facility that in the first year has met not only our financial and operational expectations but has also developed a highly motivated and dedicated catering team. Another key factor was that the Balance Partnership also helped with the planning and preparation to ensure a smooth transition.

Monitoring

Purchasing controls

One of the most important aspects or our business is to ensure that our clients have the appropriate methodology for tracking and understanding what they are paying for, i.e. management fees, products, services and equipment etc. One of our main strengths is to provide an effective and sustainable method of getting meaningful data from the contractor or in house service provider.

Bespoke systems support

All successful departments require control systems that match their needs and not all have to be complicated. When we prepare our interim reports, we will identify and put forward what we consider to be appropriate and meaningful reporting structures that both provide the information that is needed to manage the business and are within the capability of those who have to provide it on an ongoing basis.

Safety policy guidance

With new legislation being introduced on a regular basis, Balance has the contacts to ensure that its clients are kept fully updated during our interim report feedback.

Nutritional resource guidance

Our clients can be assured that we can provide up to date information in this area. To ensure that we have all the required specifications to hand, we subscribe to and support the Nutri Plan online system.

Design & planning guidance

Balance work with a number of design teams to ensure that when our clients require specific input for both small and large projects, they can be assured that they get the optimum operational specification at the most economical price.
