In today’s competitive landscape, businesses are constantly seeking ways to optimise costs and maximise efficiency. However, many opportunities for financial relief go unnoticed simply because they are not widely understood. This was precisely the case for LXS Chemicals LTD, a company that initially overlooked the Energy Intensive Industries (EII) Exemption, until they partnered with Bonham & Brook.
A Missed Opportunity Turned Game-Changer
When LXS Chemicals first engaged with Bonham & Brook, they had little awareness of how the EII Exemption could impact their bottom line. The potential savings were unknown, unquantifiable, and lacked tangible proof of success. Without clear evidence that the initiative would yield results, it was not an immediate priority.
However, taking the leap proved to be a game-changer.
Delivering Tangible Results
The results were undeniable. The implementation of the EII scheme delivered substantial savings, seven figures annually, not just within LXS Chemicals’ business unit but also across the broader KPI savings framework.
Initially, the company hesitated due to the untested nature of the service within their organisation. Could this initiative truly deliver? Would the effort lead to tangible results? These concerns were valid, yet they were quickly put to rest as the process unfolded.
What Made the Difference?
One of the standout aspects of working with Bonham & Brook was their professionalism and collaborative approach. From the outset, their expertise was evident, and their structured execution reassured the team at LXS Chemicals. Unlike other consultancies that often promise much but deliver little, Bonham & Brook stood out by providing a seamless experience with clear, data-backed strategies.
 Exceeding Expectations
Looking back, the decision to move forward with Bonham & Brook was driven by a mix of intuition and expertise. From the very first conversation, it was clear that their team had the knowledge and approach necessary to drive meaningful results.
The most pleasant surprise? The sheer scale of savings achieved. The initiative significantly impacted the company’s bottom line, and even more exciting, it allowed for a closer working relationship with Bonham & Brook, looking at other opportunities to further reduced costs through Bonham & Brook’s services.
Would LXS Chemicals Recommend Bonham & Brook
