Speak with a named adviser
Tell a named adviser about your Solihull premises, lease position and contract dates.
Solihull is the West Midlands' professional-services and corporate hub outside Birmingham city centre. Birmingham Business Park, Blythe Valley Park and the offices around Solihull station and Homer Road house head offices and regional operations, while Shirley's Stratford Road, Touchwood and Knowle carry a strong retail and hospitality trade. The borough also includes the NEC, Birmingham Airport and the automotive manufacturing at Lode Lane.
We help Solihull businesses review contracts with a named adviser a short drive away, whether that is a single office suite or a multi-unit retail estate.

Solihull guide
What Solihull businesses should check before renewing
Solihull's supplies are dominated by offices, retail and hospitality, where the contract detail and lease position matter more than raw consumption.
Business parks and serviced offices
Tenants at Birmingham Business Park, Blythe Valley Park, Fore Business Park and the offices around Homer Road frequently inherit landlord-arranged or deemed supplies. The first job is establishing who holds the supply contract, whether the meter is yours, and when the current terms actually end.
Where a tenant does control the supply, a fixed-term contract aligned to the lease break date is usually the sensible structure. We also check whether electric vehicle charging for staff has been added to the site, since it can push a small office towards its agreed capacity.
Retail and hospitality in Solihull, Shirley and Knowle
Independent restaurants, salons, gyms and shops along Stratford Road, in Mell Square, Touchwood and Knowle high street are typically non-half-hourly supplies with meaningful gas use for kitchens and heating. Standing charges and contract length often move the total cost more than the unit rate.
Change of tenancy is the most common source of overspend we see in Solihull's retail units: a new occupier on deemed rates for months because nobody registered the move. We help gather readings and dates so the correct account starts on day one.
NEC, airport and Lode Lane supply chain
The businesses serving the NEC, Resorts World, Birmingham Airport and the automotive plant at Lode Lane, including logistics, catering, engineering and facilities firms, tend to have irregular demand profiles tied to event calendars or production schedules. Flexible or pass-through elements can suit them better than a rigid fully fixed contract.
National Grid Electricity Distribution, Cadent and Severn Trent serve the area. We confirm the actual network operators, water wholesaler and retailer for your premises before reviewing your options.

Questions and answers
Solihull business energy broker FAQs
Which Solihull areas do you cover?
The whole borough: Solihull town centre, Shirley, Knowle, Dorridge, Balsall Common, Hampton-in-Arden, Meriden, Chelmsley Wood, Marston Green and the NEC and airport area.
Our office is in a serviced building. Can we still change supplier?
It depends whether you hold the supply contract or the landlord does. We help establish that first; where the landlord recharges you, we can still review the arrangement and advise on your options.
Can you help a Solihull retailer that has just taken over a unit?
Yes. We handle change-of-tenancy administration so the new account starts on the right date and the business moves off deemed rates onto a proper contract.
Do you visit Solihull premises?
Solihull is a short drive from our Brindley Place office, so meetings on site or at our office are straightforward to arrange where they help.
