How We Delivered Estate Agent Energy Savings of £278 Per Year and Streamlined Administration
The Problem
Astleys is one of South West Wales’ leading firms of Chartered Surveyors, Auctioneers, and Estate Agents. Established in 1863, the business operates across multiple locations, which resulted in them managing several different gas and electricity meters.
They contacted Business Sense for support in renegotiating their supplier contracts. Their existing setup across various suppliers was not only resulting in higher utility costs but also creating an unnecessary administrative burden for their office team.
How We Helped Make Savings
Following a free review and cost analysis, we moved quickly to address the situation with the required urgency. Within a matter of days, we restructured their utility setup, switching several meters to new suppliers offering significantly lower rates.
Rather than dealing with a complex mix of contracts, we consolidated their supply, placing all gas with one dedicated supplier and all power with another.
The Results
- £278 saved per year on energy costs
- Lower, more competitive unit rates secured
- Consolidated billing with one gas supplier and one power supplier
- Significantly reduced office administration and budget management
- Urgent turnaround completed in just a few days
For established businesses like Astleys, simplifying energy contracts is often just as valuable as the direct financial savings. By streamlining their utilities, they now have a more manageable system and lower daily overheads.
