Join this informative session to hear directly from Mike Pickering, Midcounties Coop Head of Sustainability, to find out how they have been improving the energy efficiency within their stores and cutting their energy bills. Particularly in light of the recently announced reduction in government energy bill assistance for businesses, energy usage reduction will become increasingly important for us all. We’re going to need to conserve energy to save our businesses money… This webinar will help with that mission.

Energy saving advice will also be available from Phil Warren from ETS (Energy and Technical Services), who offer energy efficiency advice to some of the UK’s largest supermarkets and vintners. Phil will be on hand to share industry best practice and to offer guidance and tips to help attendees develop their own energy saving plans for their community business.
