Torse has recently been in contact with the Environmental Technology Centre [ETC], a research institute at Nottingham University. The primary focus of the ETC is to provide a service to Small to Medium sized businesses whereby they are able to provide up to 5 days energy usage analysis of a business in terms of their premises and practices with a report featuring advice and recommendations at the end of this process.

This is of particular interest because the ETC have agreed to engage with Torse clients where solutions require dedicated scientific analysis. If you visit the ETC’s case studies page you will find a variety of real-world applications for their analysis and real savings experienced by the clients. Having discussed these with ETC Director Keith Baker and Project Officer Gerald Busca, there are certainly some exciting opportunities to provide Torse clients with opportunity to develop their business by reducing energy costs where possible and planning for future legislation. Mark Johnson director of Torse said:

Torse have been very pleased to have utilised the services of ETC, as they had been looking for some time to find an independent provider of more specialised Energy management advice for their client base. What Torse found in ETC was a sensible, specialised , professional level of support that they would feel more than happy to talk to their clients and be comfortable that those clients would get high quality support from ETC

In response ETC’s director Keith Baker said:

Through the work carried out and the interactions we have had with Torse, we would have no hesitation in referring the clients of the Environmental Technology Centre to them for their energy procurement needs. They like us, offer an independent brokerage and consultancy ensuring the client gets the best options.
