Speak with a named adviser
Tell a named adviser about your Sandwell sites, capacity and contract end dates.
Sandwell is one of the most industrial boroughs in England. Metal manufacturing, fabrication, food processing and distribution fill the estates along the Black Country New Road, around Great Bridge, Wednesbury, Oldbury and Smethwick, and beside junctions 1 and 2 of the M5. West Bromwich town centre and the New Square development add retail, hospitality and public-sector demand.
Our Birmingham office is only a few miles away, so West Bromwich and Sandwell businesses get a named adviser who can be on site when a contract, capacity or connection issue needs it.

West Bromwich and Sandwell guide
What Sandwell businesses should check before renewing
The borough's manufacturing base and motorway logistics make capacity, gas volume and portfolio alignment the areas where advice pays for itself.
Metal and manufacturing along the Black Country New Road
Steel stockholders, tube and section manufacturers, galvanisers, pressings and fabricators around Wednesbury, Great Bridge, Tipton and Oldbury typically run half-hourly electricity with substantial agreed capacity and gas for process heat. Fixed charges and demand profile carry as much cost as the unit rate.
We check the Maximum Import Capacity on each bill against real peak demand. All Sandwell sites are on National Grid Electricity Distribution's West Midlands network, so a capacity change follows one process, and gas is Cadent's West Midlands network.
Logistics and food processing at M5 junctions 1 and 2
Distribution, cold storage and food manufacturers around Kenrick Way, Oldbury and Smethwick often operate around the clock with refrigeration loads that make time-of-use pricing and contract flexibility significant. Electric fleet charging is increasingly pushing these sites towards their capacity limits.
Multi-unit operators benefit from aligning contract end dates and tendering the estate together; suppliers price a clear portfolio more keenly than a stream of individual renewals.
West Bromwich town centre, New Square and Smethwick high streets
Retail, hospitality, salons, gyms and offices in the town centre, New Square, Cape Hill and Bearwood are mostly non-half-hourly supplies. Change of occupier without registering the move, and rolled-over out-of-contract rates, are the most common causes of overspend.
Drinking water in much of Sandwell is supplied by South Staffs Water with Severn Trent handling wastewater. Non-household customers can choose their water retailer, which is worth reviewing when the energy contracts come up.

Which areas of Sandwell do you cover?
The whole borough: West Bromwich, Oldbury, Smethwick, Bearwood, Tipton, Great Bridge, Wednesbury, Rowley Regis, Blackheath and Cradley Heath, and neighbouring parts of Birmingham and Dudley.
Can you review both electricity capacity and the supply contract for a Wednesbury manufacturer?
Yes. We check agreed kVA against actual demand first, help prepare any reduction or increase request to the network operator, and run the supply tender around the corrected profile.

Electricity is National Grid Electricity Distribution (West Midlands, distributor ID 14) and gas is Cadent's West Midlands network. Drinking water is largely South Staffs Water and wastewater is Severn Trent.
How quickly can an adviser get to a site in Sandwell?
West Bromwich is a few miles from our Brindley Place office, so site visits can usually be arranged within days where they add value.
