Budgens is working with energy expert Greengate to offer its Budgens retail partners the opportunity to cut the cost of their energy and carbon emissions.
Daniel Quest, Budgens sales director, said: “We are working closely with suppliers to jointly drive efficiencies, which is why Budgens continues to be the partner of choice for independent retailers.”
Guy Warner, owner of Warner’s Budgens, said: “I was astonished that I saved energy even in my most energy-efficient store, so I immediately took the solution operation-wide. In a few months we have saved 21 per cent on electricity and 30 per cent on gas. What’s more, with Greengate’s Carbon Trust loan scheme, I will effectively get my energy management solution for free.”
Greengate’s Malcolm Tinkler added: “Most c-stores are using 10-40 per cent too much energy because of ineffective energy management. With a simple three-step plan and state-of-the-art wireless energy-management system, we help customers take ultimate control of their hungry assets and achieve immediate payback.”
