Beond were delighted to be announced the winner of the Energy Broker of the Year 2015 Award in a category designed to recognise specialist companies with fewer than 50 staff. The award panel commented that Beond’s submission impressed them in terms of the innovations they provide in energy procurement and risk, along with their advanced recruitment and training initiatives.

Beond’s Sales Director Mike Chan commented “we are a specialist team dependent on our people, IT and innovations. Our industry specialists offer personal delivery services, our bespoke tendering software forces suppliers to reduce margins leading to best price and our risk management innovations offer a broader choice of hedging strategies. Recruiting quality rather than quantity has allowed us to win contracts with the UKs largest public sector procurement provider, the UK’s leading property management company, the UK’s biggest builders, national charities, Europe’s leading commercial laundry service and a leading global investment bank”.
