Unpredictable energy bills can play havoc with cashflow for small and medium-sized businesses. For engineering firms with high energy demands, this uncertainty makes it harder to plan investments, manage operations efficiently, and stay competitive in a tight market.
That’s where the Business Energy Advice Service (BEAS) comes in. We provide free energy assessments and access to up to £100,000 in match-funded grants, helping SMEs identify real opportunities to reduce costs and emissions.
This 60-minute online webinar will highlight how a local engineering company transformed its operations by reducing energy bills by 50% with BEAS support. You’ll hear how the business tackled its challenges, made the right investment decisions, and is now reinvesting savings into growth and innovation.
