Business Gas
There is the common misconception that changing
energy provider is a complex and time consuming
process. However, switching is often much easier than
people think and can be handled by an energy broker
with minimal input from you.
Business Gas Contracts
Our priority is saving you money
on energy. The best way to do
this is to take a look at your
service provider and scrutinise
the deal they are offering.
Many businesses rely on their gas
supplies, but the cost of oil has
fluctuated dramatically over the last
few years. When it comes to changing
contracts, timing is critical.
We are practical when it comes to
the costs of running a business and
we know that saving money means
everything to business owners. This is
why we search the market extensively
and talk you through the contracts
available. Over time we have built up
strong relationships with the largest
suppliers. This enables us to go direct
and gain the most competitive gas
prices for you.
Securing the Right Gas
Contract
Get the timing right:
Businesses tend wait until a contract
is just about to expire before
investigating the market. However, it
is worth noting that the best time to
do this is around six months before
the current contract expires. If you
are using a broker, they can negotiate
expertly on your behalf. If negotiating a
new contract yourself, remember that
energy companies want your custom,
so don’t hesitate to state your terms
and negotiate hard.
Automatic renewals:
Although suppliers are now obliged
to send customers a statement with
renewal terms at least 60 days before
the contract is due to expire, too many
businesses simply fail to shop around
for better deals. The end result is that
many businesses are paying more
than they need to. Make sure that
you know when your contract is up for
renewal so that you don’t find yourself
in this position.

Business Electricity
Do not underestimate the potential savings you could
make on your business electricity. Admittedly it can be a
daunting market as it changes daily, which is why many
people go to brokers who know the market inside out. We
are ideally placed to advise on the best prices available.
Business Electricity Contracts
Energy use continues to be
a major cost and a significant
issue for most businesses.
Obviously, some industries
such as manufacturing and
engineering are particularly high
users, but even service-based
companies frequently find that
energy expenditure makes up
a substantial proportion of their
monthly bills.
Most of our electricity supplies come
from burning coal and oil. These
supplies are imported from abroad and
are becoming increasingly difficult to
obtain, forcing the energy market to
look into alternative ways of producing
electricity. With new choices available
for the supplies of electricity, there
are different options that could work
for your business. In line with energy
shifts, our suppliers offer an extensive
range of competitive electricity
packages.
Climate Change and
Your Electricity Usage
Even if business owners and managers
aren’t swayed by the environmental
argument for reducing energy usage,
the undeniable financial benefits may
prove to be more persuasive. Energy
prices have steadily climbed over the
past few years and this trend looks set to
continue for the foreseeable future. In fact,
according to figures recently published by
the Department for Energy and Climate
Change, the average electricity bill for a
medium-sized energy user will go up by
around 20% by 2020, while for energyintensive
industries, the increase could be
as high as 30%.
One of the first steps is to measure how
energy is used and where it is being
wasted. We can arrange an energy
audit which can then be used to improve
general practice and processes, as well
as addressing areas where your business
could be more efficient. To effectively
assess your energy consumption, it is
necessary to look at a whole range of
issues, from how technology is used,
through to site structure and layout.
There may be small changes that you can
make, which in combination, will constitute
substantial savings.

electricity contracts call us today on 0800 007 4001
