Businesswise Solutions’ double awards success

An energy procurement and management organisation is celebrating an awards double, further cementing its expert consultancy service.

Businesswise Solutions, which has offices in Lancashire, Manchester and London, collected the Professional Services Award at the North West Business Insider Property Awards.

The Property Awards is one of the must-attend events in the North West business calendar, selling out months in advance of the shortlist being announced. The Professional Services award recognises the significant contributions companies have made to property developments in terms of planning, design, deliverability and control of costs.

In 2016, Businesswise added a host of new services to its portfolio enabling them to help clients drive down costs and manage spend. They launched UTILITYi, a bespoke online portal instrumental in driving down costs and created new energy audit and water procurement divisions.

“It’s a huge achievement to receive this award and be shortlisted in four national award categories which emcompass everything we do,” said Businesswise Solutions managing director, Frazer Durris.

“2016 was a big year for us with the opening of our Manchester office, significant strengthening of our team and making big savings for clients through a range of innovative initiatives including £3.3m of savings in the client gas buying group, £1m rebates for high energy manufacturers through the Energy Intensive Industries scheme and energy savings of £1m through our handling of a £15 million Chamber portfolio.
