About the client
Connect Distribution Services Ltd began trading in 1969 and boasts a pedigree of over 40 years’ experience. Established as the largest independent home appliance service and spare parts distribution organisation in the UK, the business consists of more than 500 direct employees, a 42,000 sq ft head office complex and 225,000 sq ft national distribution centre.
The challenge
Connect Distribution Services required professional guidance and direction regarding the constantly evolving energy industry. It needed to be sure that it formed a solid relationship with a like-minded business, which held the same high values and independence to guide the company through the process.
BCR Associates’ consultants offer a wide range of expertise that extends across the industry; from procurement and legislation, to electrical engineering and carbon management. Connect Distribution was therefore confident that BCR Associates could cater to every requirement specific to its sector.
The solution
Working closely with Facilities Manager, Jayne Westley, BCR Associates provided ongoing support, expert guidance and continued trusted judgements over several years.
Recognising the need for continued energy management and surety when it comes to legislative and regulatory frameworks, BCR Associates has worked to guarantee the client’s conformity with the most stringent regulations.
Project summary
- Connect Distribution’s business relationship with BCR Associates started in 2008 when we were approached to provide consultation on supplier terms and products during a time of massive company growth
- The client recognised that an independent consultative approach to its procurement and carbon management would add value to its business
- Annual product renegotiations and updates on legislation allow for better budget forecasting and security
