PH Energy Services is pleased to say that over half of its customers are charities. In fact, we’d like think we are well-respected experts in the not-for-profit arena. We really care about protecting the hard-earned revenues of charities, and want to ensure that you don’t pay over the odds on utility costs.
A unique sector with its own challenges
In recent years all charities have come under financial pressure either because of government cut backs resulting in less or reduced schemes; rising costs of running the charity; reduced donations due to the recession or mass fundraising like Sports Relief which can overshadow more on-the-ground local charities. However charities are often required to be far more transparent and held far more accountable by stakeholders.
As for every charity, every penny counts and ensuring that gas and electricity costs are managed as efficiently as possible means that more money can go to the great cause you’re set up to help. Suppliers are no more compassionate towards their charity customers than anyone else, so it’s important to ensure that the charity is getting the best possible deal for its energy needs. PH Energy often recoups thousands of pounds back for their charity customers, and because we don’t take a share of savings, it all goes straight back to the charity boosting that all-important bottom line.
Here’s what one charity customer had to say about the services we have supplied to it:
Turning Point appointed PH Energy Services in 2006 to look after our gas and electricity supply contracts. As a charity providing fully supported residential care our energy is one of our largest spends so it’s essential it is managed effectively but dealing directly with suppliers can be a headache. PH Energy Services take this headache away, they consistently provide a personal service and we benefit directly from their wealth of experience gained from working in the utility industry for many years. PH Energy Services run competitive tenders for us within the framework of effective energy contracting strategies. PH Energy also provide invoice validation services and each year they obtain significant rebates for us. I am happy to recommend PH Energy Services to charities similar to ourselves.
