Robert Richardson FIH MI, CEO Institute of Hospitality (IOH), shares how BB Merchant Services UK & Ireland helped to reduce merchant services costs for the Institute of Hospitality by 50%.
“BB Merchant Services was recommended to me by the Editor of Hospitality and Catering News, Denis Sheehan, as being a trusted advisor to the industry. As the General Manager of a large hotel in Kent, I gave BB Merchant Services a mandate to benchmark and renegotiate our merchant services arrangements. They did a fantastic job and reduced our annual costs of taking client payments by almost 30%.
When I became CEO of the Institute of Hospitality, I gave them the same brief: save the organisation money without the overhead of changing providers. So I was absolutely delighted to see them deliver the same result again – this time reducing the Institute’s costs by a whopping 50%.
BB Merchant Services UK & Ireland did all the work. They kept my Finance team and me fully informed. But I didn’t have to do anything apart from give them the brief and the authority to benchmark and renegotiate on our behalf.”
This is achieved through in-depth knowledge of the markets. Also, global benchmarking capability and an extensive international network.
