Greenfields Energy Group has signed a commercial partnership with the Black Country Chamber of Commerce to support manufacturers and industrial businesses with electricity, gas, and water procurement.
The agreement gives Chamber members access to a no-cost review of existing and future utility contracts, covering cost-saving opportunities, contract structure, and security of supply. Greenfields already works with 64 companies in the region and will now extend its services through the Chamber’s membership network.
Energy procurement has become a core operating concern for manufacturers, with contract timing, consumption visibility, supplier terms, and risk management all feeding into margin control and investment planning. The partnership will provide members with access to specialist procurement support before contract renewal deadlines restrict their options.
“We’ve been working with firms in the region ever since we launched, providing trusted advice and guidance on energy procurement that has collectively saved firms tens of £millions,” said Liam Conway, Co-Founder of Greenfields Energy Group.
Certain Greenfields services will be discounted for Black Country Chamber members. The company will also deliver free webinars throughout the year covering energy trends and market issues, giving businesses a structured way to track changing supply conditions.
“Doing nothing is not an option, especially in these unprecedented times,” Conway added. “We always advise on taking a long-term view on energy supply and this means continually reviewing options and not leaving it until a few months before your contract renews.”
The Black Country Chamber said member enquiries on energy have risen sharply over the past two years, with conversations increasingly focused on gas and electricity prices, contract lock-ins, and long-term security. Rising utility costs continue to put pressure on already stretched budgets, particularly in manufacturing environments where energy is tied directly to production capacity.
Sarah Moorhouse, CEO of the Black Country Chamber of Commerce, said: “Energy has been a key topic for the last two years, but we’ve recently seen an unprecedented rise in interest. Conversations about the price of gas/electricity, locking into contracts and long-term security have dominated our events and discussions with our account managers.”
Greenfields provides procurement consultancy across electricity, gas, and water, supported by risk management and trading expertise. Its Energy Bureau Service handles bill validation, consumption reporting, analysis, and related administration, operating as an external energy department for businesses.
