Breakfast event will advise on how to reduce energy costs

"I would urge SMEs not to miss this opportunity to connect with peers and ask our team of experts about what practical steps your business can take."

Manufacturing SMEs in Warwickshire can get some good advice on how to reduce their energy costs at a collaboration breakfast event on November 9.

The event at Warwick Manufacturing Group's Wellesbourne campus could not be more timely. At a time of rising costs, it will impart guidance on energy-saving practice opportunities that SMEs can implement to reduce usage.

At the event, SMEs will share their experience of seeking solutions to the increased cost of energy through collaboration with intermediaries such as WMG, who are also working with Warwickshire County Council, engineering professional bodies and other interested parties.

WMG have been working with a number of SMEs to identify opportunities to improve energy management efficiency. With strategic partners including the County Council, the IET Midlands Manufacturing Network and the Innovation Alliance West Midlands, the aim is to attract 50 manufacturing SMEs on the day to help support them in reducing their rising energy bills.

Arrival for the event will be at 7.30am for networking and breakfast with discussions commencing at 8am. The event will finish at 10am.

Hardeep Sandhu, Warwickshire County Council's Business Investment Growth Delivery Lead (Economy & Skills) said: "This event is for SMEs by SMEs. With the cost of living crisis rising and energy bills increasing, we wanted to bring the industry together to help provide expert advice on a range of energy-saving opportunities that SMEs can implement to reduce usage.

"By sharing best practice and working collaboratively, we can help to reduce risks together. I would urge SMEs not to miss this opportunity to connect with peers and ask our team of experts about what practical steps your business can take to help with short term and long term savings."
