Businesses in Hull and East Yorkshire have been invited to a joint seminar later this month to help them understand the current energy market and how they can make potential savings as well as accessing finance to support growth, whether existing firms or startups.
Yorkshire accountancy firm 360 Chartered Accountants is hosting the free event with Ashley Hunter from River Energy and Rebecca Pickering from Mercia Asset Management giving presentations and taking part in a Q&A session. There will also be members of the 360 team available to discuss the impending taxation changes or any other accounting issues.
360 MD Adrian Hunter said it’s a crucial topic for businesses, particularly as energy bills are set to soar from April when the Government’s subsidies for gas and electricity are slashed. “A report last year found that 54% of UK SMEs are at risk of collapse from rising fuel and energy prices. That’s an alarming figure. We are all looking at ways we can make our workplaces as energy efficient as possible to save costs as well as to reduce our environmental impact. And as our bills continue to rise, we want to help businesses better understand how they can use the renewables market to drive down costs – and show them how to finance their growth.”
The free event is taking place on Tuesday 21st February, at the MKM stadium, Hull between 12 and 2pm. It will include a tour of the stadium. Lunch will also be provided.
