Speak with a named adviser
Tell a named adviser about your Black Country sites, gas volumes and contract dates.
Dudley borough is the industrial core of the Black Country. Pensnett Trading Estate is one of the largest in Europe, the Waterfront and Merry Hill at Brierley Hill carry a major office and retail economy, and Halesowen, Cradley Heath, Lye, Stourbridge and Kingswinford are full of foundries, forgings, glass, engineering and fabrication firms whose gas and electricity bills are among the highest fixed costs they carry.
We help Dudley businesses tender their supplies properly, check capacity charges and manage renewals with a named adviser based nearby in Birmingham.

Dudley guide
Energy-intensive manufacturing defines the borough, so the detail of capacity, gas consumption and contract flexibility carries real money.
Businesses in Pensnett, Cradley Heath, Lye, Netherton, Halesowen and Stourbridge that run furnaces, kilns, presses or heat-treatment lines are heavy gas users with half-hourly electricity supplies. For them the choice between fully fixed and pass-through non-commodity costs, contract length and volume tolerance clauses matters more than a headline rate.
We also check whether the agreed Maximum Import Capacity still reflects the plant on site. On long-occupied Black Country premises it frequently does not, and a reduction request to National Grid Electricity Distribution can lower fixed charges independently of the supply tender.
Offices at the Waterfront, retailers and restaurants at Merry Hill and the businesses along the Dudley Road corridor are mostly non-half-hourly supplies, often inside multi-let buildings. Establishing who holds the supply and when the contract actually ends is the first job.
For hospitality and retail units, gas for kitchens and heating plus standing charges usually drive total cost. A sensible fixed term aligned to the lease and clean change-of-tenancy handling avoid the deemed-rate periods we see most often.
Trading estates in Kingswinford, Pensnett, Sedgley, Gornal and Coseley host hundreds of small engineering, vehicle, printing and distribution businesses. These are frequently on out-of-contract or rolled-over rates simply because the renewal letter arrived at a busy time.
Drinking water in much of Dudley borough is South Staffs Water, with Severn Trent for wastewater and for supply in parts of the south of the borough. Retailer choice applies to all non-household customers, so water can be reviewed alongside energy.

Yes. High-volume gas supplies need a tender that covers volume tolerance, non-commodity pass-through and contract flexibility as well as price. We build the comparison around your actual consumption profile.
Electricity is National Grid Electricity Distribution (West Midlands, distributor ID 14) and gas is Cadent's West Midlands network. Drinking water is mostly South Staffs Water and wastewater is Severn Trent.
Yes, by arrangement. Dudley borough is a short drive from our Brindley Place office, and site visits are common for capacity reviews and multi-building estates.
