ENERGY MADE EASY CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO BE A MEMBER?

With energy prices at an all-time high, and this being a traditionally quieter time of year, it’s a good time to check your tariff to make sure you are getting the best deal

We all know that we need to make changes to save energy, both to save money and to help the environment, but a lot of this advice is completely irrelevant in our industry in which we rely heavily on power to provide our services. At its worst, the advice can come across as being patronising.

The NHBF is committed to helping its members and the wider industry to be the best and most successful that they can, campaigning at the highest levels on issues such as the cost of doing business crisis for our industry.

For the past 12 months, the NHBF has been researching how it can help its members as it anticipated the approach of this energy crisis. This led it to form a partnership with a leading energy consultancy, Direct Business Solutions. As one of the largest consultancies in the UK they have helped thousands of customers to save money on their utilities, by helping them manage the energy pricing crisis as simply as possible through finding the energy contract best suited to their business’s needs.

THIS NEW SERVICE OFFERS:

• Great prices and deals on your utilities

• Achoice of like-for-like quotes, putting you firmly in control

• Simplicity – your dedicated account person will make this process hassle-free

• Clarity on your energy pricing and broker costs

• Fit – match your business’ needs with the best supplier

Switching energy is easy. It’s the same pipes, gas, meter and safety – you don’t lose supply – the only differences are price and customer service. It’s one of the simplest ways to save money on energy bills, but 1.3 million businesses may be missing out on better deals by sticking with the same provider. None of us know what will happen when the Energy Relief Fund ends in March, so this should also provide some financial stability, giving you space to plan for future success.

In addition, the NHBF provides advice and practical help on the foundations we all need to run a successful business. These include access to human resource and legal experts and competitive insurance rates. It will soon be introducing a monthly payment option for single members.

All its members can download employment contracts and other key documents that have been created by its expert partners, saving you time and money. With average legal fees at around £300 per hour, you’ll only need to use the NHBF’s vast range of resources twice to justify your membership fee.
