# Seymour Hicks Ltd

Seymour Hicks is a cost reduction and procurement consultancy based in Farnham that helps businesses negotiate better terms with their suppliers across non-core expenses. Rather than seeking wholesale supplier changes, the firm works with existing vendor relationships to extract savings whilst maintaining profitable arrangements for both parties.

The company serves businesses of all sizes across multiple sectors, including accountants, solicitors, charities, educational institutions and professional services firms. Their client roster includes notable names such as Age UK, the Royal Ballet School and Smith & Williamson.

What distinguishes Seymour Hicks is their contingency-based pricing model: clients pay nothing if no savings are identified. This removes financial risk and demonstrates confidence in their expertise. The firm handles the substantive analytical work themselves, requiring only monthly bills, lease agreements or service contracts from clients, allowing businesses to focus on core operations.

The team comprises senior business professionals with experience in negotiation, board-level engagement and diverse commercial sectors. They combine in-depth cost analysis with practical implementation, achieving savings in over 90% of cases without requiring supplier switches.

Services span utilities, telecoms, insurance, waste management, merchant services, office supplies, business rates and renewable energy. Their approach is deliberately unobtrusive and independent, positioning themselves as specialists in what businesses consider peripheral costs but which often represent significant savings opportunities.
