In addition, substantial savings can be achieved on building materials, machinery, electricity, mobile phones and many other areas of purchasing.
Simplified Administration
Our simple accounting procedures also provide Members with real savings in terms of time and money. Monthly direct debit payments mean no cheques to write, no bank charges, no stamps to purchase and no envelopes to write and post. (Direct Debits are taken twice monthly for the first two years of Membership). To aid cash flow management, all direct debit payment dates are notified annually in advance.
Members receive two statements per month for the previous month’s transactions. Copies of the original supplier invoices are attached to these statements, enabling Members to identify the exact purchase price.
