Bglobal Announces Expansion into Energy Management Services
Bglobal has completed a significant restructure of its business. As part of the corporate changes, the company has launched a new subsidiary, Bsmart Energy Solutions, which will enable it to offer a complete end-to-end energy management service.
Bsmart will provide businesses with the tools they need to measure and analyse their energy consumption and expenditure. Its range of cutting-edge software enables the creation of customised reports, which give a much deeper understanding of energy consumption, helping businesses to identify where reductions can be made. The aim is to ensure payback on the initial investment within two years and, where appropriate, provide funding solutions to reduce the initial capital outlay.
As a result of the launch, Bglobal plc is now able to offer an end to end range of smart energy solutions as a one stop shop – from smart metering systems to energy management services, and beyond.
Chris Norburn has taken on the role of Managing Director. He will be responsible for supporting the overall development of Bsmart at a strategic level, presently targeting the leisure, retail and commercial industries, as well as manufacturers and through channel partners.
Prior to joining Bsmart, Chris has over 30 years’ experience of working in energy management and control systems. Chris said: “The launch of Bsmart Energy Solutions forms a considerable part of our growth strategy and marks a significant development for Bglobal. It sets us apart from our competitors, as we can take a much more dedicated approach for our customers.”
Chris added: “We have created an unparalleled link between Bglobal’s metering and data operations, and demand energy solutions through Bsmart. This gives a unique insight into our customers energy consumption patterns and allows us to create bespoke solutions that will help them to reduce usage and save money.
“Our aim is to help businesses measure smart, buy smart and use smart. Bsmart is quite unique in its ability to provide a service that can be tailored to a business’ needs. We see its development as a significant step forward for Bglobal and look forward to helping organisations across the country with their Carbon Reduction Commitment strategies.”
