When it comes to the cost of utility prices in the wholesale industry – it’s a bit of a beast.
All those chilled goods to keep frozen or cold and all that lighting for what often huge spaces are can make electricity prices in particular, a major outlay. However, whether you are a wholesaler trading independently or, whether you are working as part of a group, the experts at Utility Bidder could help you switch energy suppliers to find the most cost-effective prices for your warehouse gas and electricity.
The wholesale industry has not been helped by the volatility in the sector and a sluggish growth in consumer confidence. The various categories of wholesale and cash and carry businesses have had mixed fortunes but we recognise how wholesalers remain critical routes to business for independent retailers, food service providers and these days, even non-trade customers. It is clear that thanks to the continued demand for natural, fresh and healthy products – whether that’s to eat and drink at home, or to consume outside the home, chilled produce is an important growth area.
The good news is that trends suggest that market growth is anticipated over the coming years, albeit quite slowly. This means that cash and carry and wholesale businesses must be continually looking at all areas of their operations to maintain competitiveness and drive efficiency costs. One area that could save your business considerable money is by reviewing how much it costs to heat and light your warehouse business and its operations.
Whether your wholesale business is considered a small player in the sector or whether you are part of a warehouse buying group, the experts at Utility Bidder have the know-how, knowledge and experience to secure you the best deal on your new gas and electricity contract.

Here at Utility Bidder we appreciate just how complex it can be to save money in a warehouse environment. Different areas may need to be maintained at different temperatures – you want your office staff and customers to operate at a comfortable temperature – yet you have to store chilled goods in another.
Nevertheless, regardless of how big or small your warehousing capability – energy costs can be reduced when you know how. The major energy suppliers are keen to tie in customers for longer periods based on what may look like attractive fixed rates. This is due to the volatility of the energy markets – however, signing up to a longer-term contract in the belief it could save you money could tie your warehouse to an electricity or gas deal that could be costing you hundreds if not thousands of pounds extra.
We know that many warehousing and cash and carry outlets have formed buying groups – the power of the group makes them a stronger force but you could become even stronger with Utility Bidder. We don’t just work with separate business entities we can also act on behalf of buying groups too.
The principle remains the same – simply give us a letter of authority on behalf of the group and let us go to market on your behalf to secure a deal for all warehouse businesses within the group.
As a major energy consumer, we know how responsible warehousing operations are keen to be seen to be reducing their gas and electricity use, which will reduce energy consumption and of course, ultimately energy bills.
As well as being good for your bottom line, sustainability will also enhance your corporate social responsibility credentials – always good for your corporate reputation.
*Use data loggers to improve temperature management. For example, the different season’s impact on the evaporating temperature and data loggers will automatically help with the adjustments. They will help ensure that your warehouse will not over cool in blast freezers and reduce the temperature difference between air and refrigerant.
*Quick and easy savings can be made by installing LED lightbulbs, which have now reduced in price considerably since they were first introduced. With a lifespan of as much as 50,000 hours, LED lights offer a ten-fold increase in life expectancy of a halogen bulb. In a large warehousing operation, what may seem like a small change can result in a big win.
*Carry out your own internal energy audit by walking around all areas of your warehouse or cash and carry. Are warehouse doors or loading bays kept open for no reason? The climate control system will struggle to maintain a consistent internal temperature. Are there areas where lights are kept on when they do not need to be? Are all your thermostats set at the right levels?
*Refrigeration is going to be a major cost. Is your equipment the most energy efficient as it could be? Is it running according to the manufacturer’s instructions? Appliances like an Energy Miser could monitor the space and temperature inside your chilled cabinets and so reduce energy use.
Sometimes it can feel lonely when you are an independent warehouse or cash and carry – but let Utility Bidder ‘join your team’ as your in-house energy experts. That means you can rely on Utility Bidder to work hard to find you the best price for your warehouse gas and electricity supplies.
A recent report from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) found that only 21 per cent of SME’s switched energy supplier in the last year. Firms said they thought they already had a good deal and that the whole process was far too complex.
That could be the case if your warehouse does try to navigate the energy markets on your own. However, with Utility Bidder by your side and doing all the hard work for you – there is really no reason why you can’t switch the gas and electricity provider for your independent warehouse.

Paul Kay was fantastic in securing us a great deal and explaining everything in full. Thanks and would wholeheartedly recommended.
Excellent service from Kenny in the Manchester office, he worked hard to find the best price for me and explained everything along the way.
Will definitely use him again in the future and would recommend.
I spoke to Paul Kay this morning who in the space of 30 mins looks to have halved my salon electric bill, he was personable, knowledgeable and honest. The proof will be seeing if the bills actually reduce and if so I will leave another review but so far an excellent service
I dealt with Utility Bidder over the past couple of days, amazing service and prompt. Paul Kay gave excellent customer service! would highly reccomend.
Without a doubt utility bidder has saved my sanity. They have sorted months of going around in circles with a supplier in under a week.
I would highly recommend to everyone I know.
Had a lovely phone call from Connor this morning, he was very helpful, explained everything very clearing and all I had to do was agree to everything that was suggested and he done the rest! Very happy with the service
I have just worked with Alex from Utility Bidder to sort our electricity contract today. He has got us an excellent price for our charity and it has all been sorted in half an hour (possibly less!). He was extremely helpful. THANK YOU
Had a call from Alex York who within minutes had arranged a new electricity contract with a new supplier. He was extremely courteous, professional and friendly. Highly recommend.
Robert Johnson has just completed my renewal contract with my energy supplier. He was very helpful and very efficient. It’s the first time I have used Utility Bidder and I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them. Thank you for making it so easy.
