Chamber gives Anupco healthy energy boost

Animal healthcare product company Anupco Ltd is in top condition for growth after tapping into the Suffolk Chamber Utilities™ service to cut its energy costs by 50%.

The Hadleigh based distributor and exporter will save £21,000 on its electricity bill over the next two years, and cut its gas bill by £22,000 as part of a new three-year contract negotiated by Chamber Utilities™

Analysts from Utility Auditing, which supplies the Chamber Utilities™ service, use their national purchasing power to find organisations more competitive deals. So far, they have saved Suffolk Chamber members more than £80,000.

Norma Knighton, Financial and Human Resources Controller for Anupco, said: "This is an excellent service which is so easy to use. We gave the Chamber representative copies of previous bills and they did all the hard work for us and there was no cost for undertaking the assessment. We were delighted with the savings achieved, which will be invested in the company’s continued growth."

As approved suppliers to the Carbon Trust, Utility Auditing can also carry out free energy efficiency surveys for eligible companies and can offer access to funding for implementation of energy saving measures.

Commenting on the savings, for the Chamber, John Dugmore, Chief Executive, said: "The Chamber’s energy analysis and advice service is a superb route to taking costs out of any business. We can also help businesses to improve their energy efficiency so that they are taking a twin pronged approach to cutting bills. We urge companies to put Chamber Utilities™ to the test to see how the Chamber can help them improve bottom line profits."
