A fast-growing utilities consultancy has opened a new office in Birmingham centre city – creating ten new jobs.
Utility Team, which has its headquarters in Coventry, has opened a sales office in The Big Peg on Vyse Street in the Jewellery Quarter.
The company works with businesses around the UK to manage their utility contracts and reduce their consumption.
The new space is the base for the company’s small and medium size business sales operation.
Ten staff have been recruited for the office and the company plans to double this headcount over the next 12 months. A further 20 staff are employed at the company’s Coventry headquarters at Elliot Court in Coventry.
Managing director Matt Jakeman said the new Birmingham office reflects how quickly the company has grown since it was set-up in 2009.
“Utility Team works with thousands of businesses across the UK who want to get the best value from their energy contracts, reduce their consumption and minimise their carbon footprint,” he said.
“This new office will service one of the fastest growing areas of our business which is working with small and medium sized companies.
“Our products allow these companies to join together in buying consortiums to access the wholesale market and make significant savings.
“In the past – because of their size – they would only have been offered fixed term contracts but we can open up a number of other options.
“We expect this office to grow quickly as our experienced consultants help more companies save both money and time making utility decisions.”
