About the Technical Consultancy support
Our Technical Consultancy can help identify how your business can save energy, reduce waste and optimise the use of raw materials.

We will fund a bespoke energy and/or resource efficiency project, appointing a specialist consultant to help deliver specific projects such as assessing process efficiency and plant, examining heat recovery and infrastructures or evaluating electrical supply optimisation.
