Welcome to Consultus

Manufacturing

Consultus clients include energy-intensive manufacturing and fabrication organisations that are pushing to reduce demand, optimise operations and drive down costs.

Manufacturing Overview

Consultus has extensive knowledge in manufacturing, food processing and other related sectors, helping clients in the UK and internationally to optimise their operations, reduce energy demand and save money.

The manufacturing sector is one of the UK’s highest energy consumers and is responsible for producing around one-fifth of global emissions each year, relying on energy-intensive operations on a daily basis to keep their business running smoothly.

In such a high-demand environment, many manufacturers face challenges around market volatility and energy price uncertainty, that’s why having a robust strategy in place to combat risk and ensure the best possible outcomes is essential.

 

Energy Procurement and Cost Savings

We understand that enegry can be a huge cost in the manufacturing sector. With price uncertainty in the utility market, it can be difficult to navigate and find the best price for your business. With an open and transparent business style, our holistic approach extends from advice, negotiation and procurement to market intelligence, compliance and ongoing management.

Adding Value to the Manufacturing Sector

Through a dynamic purchasing strategy covering a £37.7m portfolio, a plastics manufacturer was able to find savings in their energy costs. This was done through our procurement strategies and experience in the energy market and manufactring sector.
