Bondholder energy brokerage
Bondholder Appletree Value Solutions has helped fellow Bondholder QUAD save £27k by sourcing a new gas supplier.
Richard Robey, Appletree owner, discussed the venue’s energy performance with Dr Alex Rock and Daryn Shepherd at QUAD, he developed a strategy of a more locally-focussed commercial outlook for its facilities portfolio and a renewable approach.
Richard negotiated the replacement of the contract on QUAD’s behalf, with Derbyshire-based supplier, Avanti Gas in Chesterfield, with a three year option. The agreed contract makes a saving of up to £27,000 over three years.
Richard Robey said:” I am very happy to have achieved this outcome for QUAD. As a Bondholder, I was pleased to use my expertise to effectively give something back to one of our leading arts and entertainment centres to help QUAD and Derby be in the best financial place as we exit lockdown. To keep the supply in Derbyshire, so contributing to employment at Avanti, is a further bonus.”
Daryn Shepherd, Facilities Manager at QUAD, added: “Working with Richard Robey from Appletree Value has been a welcome breath of fresh air when compared to other brokers in the energy industry. Our past interactions with other companies have been plagued with cold calls, double speak and a very hard sell approach. Richard has been honest from the get go, listening to our needs in particularly an ethical desire to source providers from the local community and always laying things out clearly on the table for us to make the best decision for our site.”
