I always find the summer holidays are a good time to do a bit of housekeeping at work.
For example, reviewing what your business pays for gas, electricity and water is one task we all need to do but it gets pushed to the back of the list as day-to-day tasks take priority.
Earlier this year the Chambers entered a new partnership with leading utilities cost consultancy Troo to offer Staffordshire Chambers Energy Services to members.
The service is designed to provide expert advice to Staffordshire-based business owners to help you reduce electricity, gas and water expenditure, resulting in increased operational efficiency.
The team at Staffordshire Chambers Energy Services know the market and know the suppliers and they do all the hard work saving you time and probably a headache due to the confusing array of tariffs and suppliers out there.
As part of this new partnership, Staffordshire Chambers Energy Services offers a free energy health check to members. This service enables business owners to potentially save thousands of pounds per year on their energy bills.
I am confident that this partnership will benefit Staffordshire businesses and organisations and contribute to the economic growth of the county
Registered business members of Staffordshire Chambers can take advantage of the following services provided by Staffordshire Chambers Energy Services:
- A free assessment of current energy contracts
- Assistance in negotiating competitive market rates
- Ongoing account management and advice
Staffordshire Chambers Energy Services’ advisers can also analyse electricity and gas bills to identify if members are being overcharged. For larger operations, on-site audits of energy and water usage can be arranged, and if necessary, they can manage on-site works for meter upgrades.
You can find out more by taking advantage of the free initial assessment offered by the Staffordshire Chambers Energy Services advisers by calling: 0800 058 1950 or emailing: energyservices@sces.co.uk www.staffschambersenergyservices.co.uk
Another great service worth checking out is our partnership with Swoop to bring you access to funding across grants, loans, equity and commercial mortgages with our Finance Finder platform.
Finance Finder has a dedicated business hotline open during working hours, templates and tools to speed through applications, finance updates, news and alerts to keep you updated with funding and grant opportunities.

And whilst we are on the subject of saving money…..
Did you know that as a member of Staffordshire Chambers you automatically benefit from a massive discount on AA Roadside Assistance and a discount on car parks at most major UK airports?
Whether you have a small or large fleet of cars or a single commercial vehicle, we can help you to keep your vehicles on the move with Chamber Roadside Assistance.
In partnership with the AA, we will ensure you keep motoring at an exclusive competitive price – you can receive up to 67% discount on the cost of business breakdown cover. Several of our staff take advantage of the discount so I know it is a genuine money saver.
We also have a deal with APH airport car parking which slices a further 15% from their already competitive rates. APH offer valet parking and free transport to and from your terminal to get your holiday off to the right start.
And both discounts can be passed on to your employees, making great benefits to add to their package.
Contact info@staffordshirechambers.co.uk for details of both the AA and APH discounts
