Introduction and Background

At the beginning of 2017 , we were referred to Birmingham Supported Living 2010 Ltd (BSL). They have multiple sites base around Birmingham offering assisted living to vulnerable adults. Their energy portfolio was being managed by in house staff all with different suppliers and they were experiencing major billing issues.

Challenges

BSL faced several key challenges: Fragmented Energy Contracts, spread across multiple suppliers, with varying end dates and pricing structures. Outstanding bills all estimated that didn’t add up against actual meter reads. Major administrative issues being caused with by multiple suppliers.

The client had two clear goals:

1) Partner with an experienced broker to manage their energy portfolio.

2) Free up time to focus on their own core business operations.

Solution and Implementation

Within the first 4 month, we aligned all contract end dates, a task previously deemed unachievable by the other brokers.

Over the years this as allowed us to market their portfolio as a single basket, giving them additional discounts.

We have changed all analogue meters to smart meters, providing more accurate meter reads and together with proactive accountant management we resolved all estimated billing.

Conclusion

Over the last 7 years we have we’ve built a trusted partnership with BSL aligning all contracts, installing smart meters, and ensuring ongoing account management.

If your business operating across multiple sites, partnering with a trusted broker can deliver significant value.

Our advice challenged the broker to implement strategies that save you both time and money.
