Alan Barlow, Director of UK and Ireland, Centrica Business Solutions, provides his insights on the energy industry, how it’s changing, and what that means for businesses.
At Centrica Business Solutions, we have recently carried out an extensive research survey across a broad range of business customers, and the findings have been summarised in our Energy Advantage Report. It categorises and analyses business customers’ approach to energy and identifies the key advice, service and supply elements that our customers (and potential customers) are looking for now and in the future.
The report also provides practical guidance for businesses around their energy use. Its findings recognise that energy needs to be high on their business agenda, however, my experience as Director of UK and Ireland is that some businesses still perceive energy as a cost centre and nothing more than a commodity.
