Managing and reducing costs is a daily priority for all business owners and managers - and now, with winter approaching, many will face higher energy bills for space heating, as well as ongoing production and business needs. And there's the additional burden of the Climate Change Levy imposed since April.
The good news is that your energy cost base can be cut with near-instant effect. The answer lies with Atlantic Electric and Gas, one of Britain's newest independent energy suppliers. Created in 1999 and with the backing of Sempra Energy, one of America's largest utilities, Atlantic is not involved with energy generation or production - just supply. Through Sempra's expertise in the wholesale energy markets, Atlantic is able to offer energy, both electricity and gas, at prices that consistently undercut those of the established regional energy companies.
"Value-for-money is one aspect of Atlantic's fresh offer," says CEO Jeff Percival, who has many years experience in British and international energy businesses. "The other is service - delivering what customers want, not what we think they want."
Atlantic's dual fuel capability, endorsed and licenced by industry regulator OFGEM, means businesses have a one-stop shop for their energy supply. Says Percival: "We can usually save around 10% on historic fuel bills - but that can rise as high as 30% or more."
Aside from value-for-money, Atlantic emphasises its focus on service and convenience. Switching is very easy (just provide a meter reading and Atlantic does the rest) and customers can choose their billing options - monthly or quarterly payment, direct debit or cheque, and whether they want to receive bills by post or email.
Business size is no obstacle. Atlantic's offer is equally valid for small
and large businesses, single or multi-site - and billing can be configured
exactly to client needs, thanks to Atlantic's multi-million pound investment
in an industrial strength, scalable billing system. That means a multi-site
customer can request either one consolidated, itemised bill, or individual
bills for each site.
Atlantic's growing commercial customer base reflects the company's careful
management of its growth and increasing market share. Explains Percival:
"Horror stories abound concerning unethical sales practices, inaccurate
billing and inflexible attitudes towards resolving customer queries. We at
Atlantic have carefully structured our business and our operational
philosophy to ensure that we deliver what we promise. Yes, we are going for
growth - but not at any price."
Big names are being drawn to Atlantic - Manchester Airport, The National
Trust and drinks business First Quench are leading examples. But there are
also scores of medium-size and smaller businesses who're finding Atlantic's
fresh offer appealing, practical and reliable.
Adds Percival: "The cost savings we can achieve range from scores to
thousands of pounds. All it literally takes for a business to reap the
benefit is to call Atlantic for a comparative tariff quotation and see for
yourselves the potential savings to be made by switching to Atlantic's wave
of value and service.
They've caught the wave!
