Save on business utility bills

UK businesses are spending too much on gas, electricity and telecoms, a survey says.

Utility Watch, a utility procurement and brokerage consultancy, surveyed over 300 businesses and concluded that 90 per cent were paying more than they needed to.

Greg Shepherd, director of Utility Watch, said: “Savings can be made in the region of 20–25 per cent. Few [businesses] realise that help in obtaining comparative quotations is free.”
