A Pendle company is setting the standard for energy consultancy as it celebrates reaching the final of a prestigious national industry awards.

Businesswise Solutions has been shortlisted as Energy Management Champion of the Year in the TELCAs (The Energy Live Consultancy Awards).

These national benchmark awards represent the gold standard for the Energy TPI (Third Party Intermediaries) market and competition to make the shortlist is hotly contested across the UK.

The news comes as Businesswise celebrates reaching the £1m mark; a 50% increase on last year’s figures and the beginning of further significant growth for the Lancashire business.

Frazer Durris, managing director of Businesswise Solutions, said: “To be recognised in such highly respected industry awards is a fantastic accolade.

“The TELCAs are recognised as a credible, national industry endorsement of the success of your business model, profiling businesses who demonstrate a commitment to excellence, innovation and ethical business and we are proud to be one of them.”

“Our team of specialist energy consultants work tirelessly to deliver smarter energy procurement and management strategies for a wealth of corporate and mid-market clients and this is testament to the fantastic job they do each day.

“Businesswise has invested a great deal of time and money into its energy division over the last five years; developing supplier relationships, utilising leading industry software and building customer trust through a three tier customer service and account management structure.

“All these things, coupled with a full suite of value added services, seals our commitment to helping clients reduce indirect spend and increase profitability within their businesses.”

The shortlisted entries will now face rigorous scrutiny from a panel of independent and well respected judges, before Businesswise Solutions learns its fate at an exclusive London awards dinner in June.
