With energy prices soaring, there has never been a better time to utilise our saving service which helps BID businesses who are looking to reduce their bills.

So far, we’ve helped identify businesses £46,385 by reducing bills such as energy, water, broadband and insurance with an average cost saving per quote, per business, of £1,288.

Luke Randles, Southport BID Business Engagement Officer, said: “We want to help support businesses to reduce their ever-increasing costs and help provide budget certainty.

“Through our successful Cost Savings Programme, we’ve already helped businesses to make savings so we’re delighted that our partners at The Place Support Partnership (PSP) will be visiting us again on 1 March to offer businesses advice on reducing costs.”

The PSP team will be available for one-to-one sessions to review business costs and 90 per cent of the time are able to get a better rate even with a current supplier.

Review sessions are fully funded by the BID and there’s no obligation.

All that’s needed is a recent bill setting out the current or proposed tariff for comparison.

Any business interested in booking an in-person session on 1 March or finding out how they can arrange a session for another time should email luke@southportbid.com
