The event
This breakfast meeting is aimed at manufacturing companies in the West Midlands to present new opportunities available in purchasing, managing and reducing energy for their site(s). Primarily energy managers for West Midlands-based manufacturing SMEs are invited, however, larger manufacturers are welcome to attend. SMEs/Companies that will benefit most from this event will be those with large energy bills, aging energy infrastructure or building fabric, or cases where the organisation has identified a need to upgrade heating and lighting plant but needs qualified independent assistance to understand the available options. The breakfast meeting will showcase where reductions can be made, including measures which do not entail a large capital outlay.
