Energy brokers can save hard-pressed businesses time and money so they can get on with running their business, says Hudson Energy.

In a guide to what brokers do ahead of The Energy Live Consultancy Awards ceremony tonight, Hudson Energy said: “At a time when the global economic situation is presenting businesses with enough challenges – focusing on maximising efficiency, cash flow and actually survival is their priority – decision makers don’t have the time to get to grips with energy procurement as well.”

That’s where energy brokers come into the picture as “experts in the field”, says the supplier, to help businesses find ways to efficiently use energy and minimise their annual spend.

Energy brokers specialise in providing market knowledge to help a customer make the best energy procurement choice for their business.

By staying independent of suppliers they can give unbiased advice, suggests Hudson Energy: “Energy brokers are not in any way tied to any major supplier, allowing them to give unbiased advice to businesses and help them get the best energy solutions to their client.”

Hudson Energy is a sponsor of The Energy Live Consultancy Award for Rising Star, the winner will be announced at a stylish ceremony tonight at the London Film Museum. Check ELN for more news on the winners this evening.
