On 30th November, London’s Hilton Hotel on Park Lane and TV’s “funny man” Hal Cruttenden played host to some 600 guests who had gathered to celebrate the energy industry’s most prestigious awards. The Energy Awards recognises the outstanding skills and achievements of energy efficiency providers; technology providers and energy procurement professionals.

Beond were delighted to be announced the winner of the Energy Broker of the Year 2016 (under 50 employees) Award having been fortunate to win the same category in 2015. 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 Managing Director Alastair Hutson commented “we are a specialist team dependent on our people, IT and innovations. Our industry specialists offer high quality 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 the world’s leading investment bank. I am very proud of the hard work the team has put in and to win this award two years running is just fantastic”.
