Greengate helps Budgens retail partners the opportunity to cut the cost of their energy

(03/05/2010)

Budgens is working with Greengate to offer its Budgens retail partners the opportunity to cut the cost of their energy and carbon emissions.

Says Daniel Quest, Budgens sales director: “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, says: “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’ve saved 21% on electricity and 30% on gas. What’s more, with Greengate’s Carbon Trust loan scheme I will effectively get my energy management solution for free!”

Many Budgens retailers are already enjoying the benefits of slashed energy bills. For example, Susie Hawkins who has a number of award-winning forecourt sites with Budgens stores says: “After just two months our Monmouth store is saving 22% on electricity.”

Malcolm Tinkler of Greengate adds: ‘Most c-stores are using 10-40% 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.’
