London, UK: The British Frozen Food Federation has launched a programme to help members manage the rise in gas and electricity costs.
The BFFF Energy Club, set up with Inspired, a UK energy and sustainability advisory service, will allow BFFF members to group purchase their energy and give them access to larger discounts unavailable if they act as individual buyers.
Richard Harrow, chief executive British Frozen Food Federation, said: “UK energy markets are currently experiencing alarming prices and extreme volatility. In fact, some of our members are facing ten-fold increases in energy costs, which at this point is unsustainable and could significantly affect their business.
“The new Energy Club will enable our smaller members to take advantage of previously unavailable prices by purchasing directly from the wholesale market. It also spreads risk, reducing their exposure to further fluctuations in process.”
Wayne Brown, partner account director, Inspired, said: “We’ll be working with BFFF members not just to help them reduce the price they pay but also to reduce the amount of energy they consume.
“Instead of adopting a ‘one size fits all’ approach, The BFFF Energy Club employs multiple strategies to accommodate members’ varying attitudes to risk. We will determine which of these predefined strategies is best suited to each individual member.”
