A Chesterfield-based energy broker has launched a campaign advising other businesses in the area on how they can reduce their energy bills.

Choice Utility, based in the town’s Northern Gateway Enterprise Centre is hoping their advice and support will help local businesses to keep their costs down, and take away their fears caused by recent volatility in the market.

The firm wants to educate business owners on how the market works by going into their premises and showing them ways in which they can keep their bills down.

Examples of this could be working with companies to secure a better deal on their energy, or simply advising on ways to reduce their consumption by taking a look at the appliances used within their business.

Choice Utility believes the collaborative campaign will help other businesses realise the benefits of making small changes, which in-turn can have a huge impact on savings.

The company also plans to spread the message and provide expert advice on its social media channels, keeping businesses in the loop on everything they need to know on where the market sits.

You can keep up with the Choice Utility ‘A Fortnight In Energy’ on the company’s LinkedIn page:

Dan Molloy, Managing Director at Choice Utility commented: “The reason we’re wanting to focus on SMEs is because they’re busy. We get that business owners don’t want to spend their time talking to dozens of suppliers, it’s going to take you all day.

“The one thing in common that every business has is that they are using gas or electricity. We want to reassure businesses about their energy and have an open line of communication with them, and this awareness campaign will help us to display that.

“We understand there is a stigma with energy companies, with people thinking they’re all a ‘much of a muchness.’ My advice to businesses would be not to shy away from looking at their energy, as you could potentially be saving thousands of pounds by simply picking up the phone and speaking to a broker.

“As a company, we’re all really passionate about Chesterfield and want to see businesses in the town flourishing, so we want to play our part in helping them and supporting our local economy.”
