PointHouse Residential Care
PointHouse Residential Care Home provides residential and day care services for adults with learning difficulties. PointHouse chose to work with Birchwood Energy to assist with their electricity and gas procurement.
Procurement
Birchwood Energy has enabled Pointhouse to dramatically reduce gas and electricity energy expenditure through their effective procurement service. Their market knowledge and negotiation ability allow Pointhouse to consistently benefit from improved contract rates, time after time.
The Birchwood Energy account management teams are proactive, enthusiastic and take real ownership of our account. They ensure that we don’t fall into suppliers ‘cynical practices’, like being penalised by out of contract rates. Their team provide energy management advice that is clear, concise and supports our decision making process. Their attention to detail was justified when they identified errors with our invoices and resulted in a refund from the energy supplier in excess of £4000!
Result
Effective and expertise management of PointHouse’s utility spend has ensured that we not only save money on the price of gas and electricity, but also in the time taken to compile, compare and negotiate with the energy suppliers.

Anglia Restaurants
Birchwood Energy are really good... Try them!
Both our gas and electric contracts were coming to the end of their term and needed to be renegotiated. Warren Munday was recommended to us by a family friend who had used him and made a saving on his bills. We’d used an energy broker in the past so decided to try Birchwood Energy to see if we could get a good deal.
Birchwood Energy saved us nearly 5% on our energy bills!
Warren took away the hassle of renegotiating our energy contracts. He did everything from dealing with the various suppliers, negotiating prices, coming back with recommendations and handling all of the paperwork. All we had to do was sign on the dotted line.
Warren saved us time and energy and completely took the pressure off us. Not only did we save around 5% on our energy bills, but we didn’t have to pay Warren for his services. What a result!
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Yes – we’d definitely recommend Birchwood Energy. It’s great to have someone to negotiate your gas and electric supplies. Warren was both approachable and efficient. It was also reassuring to know that he was on hand to help if there were any issues, but there weren’t! Everything ran very smoothly, meaning we could concentrate on running our business.
Blazers Fuels
Who are we?
At Blazers Fuels, we process the woodchip residue from timber sawmills and make it into wood pellets and briquettes. Once processed, these can be used for fuel, both in the home on an open fire, in a wood burning stove, or commercially. Not only is it a clean and efficient fuel source, but the raw material comes from sustainable and well managed forests.
Birchwood Energy saved us £70,000 per annum on our energy bills!
Blazers Fuels is a heavy user of electricity. Approximately 40,000 tonnes of wood chips are converted into pellets and briquettes on our site. This process is extremely energy intensive and our annual fuel bills were around £500,000. We needed someone to look at our energy costs and get us a better rate. That's when Birchwood Energy were recommended to us.
After an initial conversation with Warren, he looked at the market and came back with several proposals. Our savings have been substantial. We’ve saved around 15% on our fuel bills, which equates to around £70,000 per year!
Warren has his finger on the pulse of the energy market...
To get the best rate he could, Warren spoke to a lot of energy suppliers. We’d never heard of some of them, but this is where Warren’s huge amount of experience came into play - he knew precisely the right people to talk to.
Using Birchwood Energy has really helped us.
We’re a young business and a new limited company but Birchwood Energy got us a decent rate and some trade credit. They also negotiated for payments to be made by Direct Debit which, for us, worked better than paying for everything up front.
Birchwood Energy can help us save for the future.
Warren kept us up to date with regular reports and ensured we knew what was happening and what to expect. He understands the energy market as a whole, as well as the sectors within it. As such, we’re talking to him about our requirements for the future.
CORE Property Management
Who are we?
Core Property Management manages portfolios of properties for clients in various locations mainly in the North West. We look after around 300 commercial properties, including multi-occupancy buildings which have shared areas such as stairs and lifts, and where a service charge is applied for these areas to be maintained. It’s our job to collect the rent from the tenants and maintain the buildings, as well as to get the best deals we can on the gas and electricity for our clients.
We liked Birchwood Energy's approach...
We’ve worked with Birchwood Energy before and really like the way they do things. Warren Munday is very genuine, polite and helpful, and is very good at explaining what he does, how he does it, and he definitely knows what he’s talking about.
Birchwood Energy has saved us up to 50% on energy costs!
Working with Birchwood Energy has made a huge difference to us. They get our clients the very best deals on gas and electricity, which this takes a huge amount of pressure off us. It’s not only our clients that benefit from these reduced prices, but their tenants also. The amount we save does vary. Sometimes it’s small but makes a difference, while other times we’ve saved up to 50% on our clients’ gas and electric costs.
Warren keeps on top of our contracts...
Warren is very thorough, pleasant and helpful. He adds value by keeping on top of all our contracts and knows exactly when they are coming up for renewal, so we don’t have to worry. It’s like having an extra pair of hands in the office and really takes the strain off us as a small company.
Birchwood Energy go above and beyond.
Birchwood Energy will do anything to help. We had some issues with an electrician installing some electric meters, but Warren went out of his way to resolve the situation and got the meters installed. This was huge. He didn’t have to do it, but it emphasises the real added value service he gives to his customers.
Lower energy costs, improved energy efficiency
Abbeystone
Abbeystone Property Management is based in Norfolk and provides a huge range of property management solutions to suit every type and size of property. Our Norwich branch deals in block management and looks after around one thousand properties. These have communal areas and as such need electricity to power lifts and lights. It’s our job to look after these areas and secure the best electricity price we can for our clients.
Birchwood Energy takes the pressure off us...
Before we met Warren Munday at Birchwood Energy, we had to work with multiple electricity companies to get the best deals for our clients. This took a huge amount of time and carried with it a lot of pressure, so we asked Warren if he could look after it for us. He does a great job of using his knowledge and expertise to keep on top of all the different tariffs and latest deals. He knows when our contracts are to be renewed and cuts through all of this to get us the best deal when we need it. And he sorts all of the paperwork so we don’t have to!
Birchwood Energy has saved us time and money...
Warren is a very genuine guy and loves working with businesses to get them the best deals. He’s been a huge help to me and to the business and has saved me a lot of time, trouble and money.
Warren is very hands on and reliable.
From the start, Warren was very hands on and easy to contact if we had a question. He replied quickly via email or was happy to come into the office to chat. He’s reliable and has helped us so much since coming on board. We don’t need to worry about this now, which means we can spend more time looking after our clients.
