Our client success stories.
See how some of our clients have taken control of their utilities with our support and expertise.
APS Group
APS Group is the UK’s leading supplier of tomatoes, producing over 20,000 tones of tomatoes a year for the UK’s major supermarkets.
The Challenge
Growing, packing, and storing tomatoes consumes a lot of energy. APS Group wanted to secure more cost-effective energy tariffs, as well as understand how it could become more energy efficient.
How We Helped
As well as finding the right energy tariff for APS Group, we installed loggers on its packing lines and chillers to help the team at APS Group understand how it was using energy. This data allowed APS Group to streamline processes and better align chiller settings with ambient temperatures.
This led to improved efficiency, lower costs, and reduced carbon output.
The Client Says
“To reduce our energy use and carbon output in our pack house, we work closely with Alex, Erin and Jamie [from Tritility]. Over the past couple of years, new opportunities have opened for us to look at exactly where we were using our energy. We put specific meters on each line and found we were overusing chillers.
“Driving along in my car, I think up an idea I want to measure. I phone up, and two days later I’m looking at it. Tritility has been a game changer.”
Swire Energy
Swire Energy is a global leader in offshore logistics, storage, and transportation.
The Challenge
Swire Energy was facing challenges managing energy usage across 32 countries. With so many sites in operation, tracking where energy was being wasted became a struggle.
How We Helped
That’s where our Energy Metrics tool came in. It gave Swire full visibility into their energy usage, making it easy to spot outdated machinery and equipment running outside of business hours, wasting energy unnecessarily.
With these insights, Swire quickly made adjustments, upgrading equipment and improving efficiency.
The results? £300,000 In annual energy savings and a significant reduction in their carbon footprint – bringing them closer to their sustainability goals.
The Client Says
“I would definitely recommend Tritility. They have given us so much support and provided us the tools to make informed decisions.
The benefits of having the data through Energy Metrics have allowed us to make informed decisions. The first-year benefit to the business will be £300,000 and that’s been the biggest benefit to Swire Energy joining Tritility.”
Diocese of Bristol Academies Trust (DBAT)
With 15 schools across South West England, DBAT provides education to primary and secondary school pupils across Bristol and Wilshire.
The Challenge
DBAT was working with multiple energy suppliers and was spending a lot of time managing different contracts. The trust came to us looking for a way to simplify contracts, save time, and become more efficient.
How We Helped
We brought all the schools’ contracts under one supplier, helping DBAT choose a more cost-effective tariff. We also provided management tools so the trust could get full visibility of its half-hourly usage, not just for each school, but for areas with high-energy consumption like kitchens.
This meant DBAT could identify which schools and rooms used the most energy and where it could be reduced, significantly cutting waste.
The trust has also saved hours of time a week by passing day-to-day energy management to us.
The Client Says
“I have a really good working relationship with Tritility, and it’s fantastic.
“[We had] a really complex setup with the utility bills and providers. [Our Account Manager] Alan has stepped me through it. If I have a problem… I’m on the phone to him and he’s sorting it. [Sometimes] I might not know there’s a problem, but he contacts me and says “I’ve picked this up; this is what I’m doing about it.
“We’ve benefited hugely from Tritility’s Energy Management Services. It’s valuable data, so we can show the trust what we’re spending on utilities. We could work with any school now that wants to come and be a part of DBAT. We can help them get control of these costs so they can spend more on education and less on wasted electricity and gas.”
Spice Empire
An Indian restaurant and takeaway in the centre of Sunderland, Spice Empire is regarded as one of the best Indian restaurants in the city.
The Challenge
Like many UK businesses, Spice Empire struggled to cope with rising energy costs. A change in tenancy left the restaurant’s gas and electricity supply on high out-of-contract rates, and it wasn’t getting answers from its previous energy provider.
How We Helped
Our energy experts reviewed Spice Empire’s bills and spotted significant errors in the charges. We contacted the energy suppliers to fix these issues and created an energy management plan that suited the restaurant’s specific energy needs.
We then secured new gas and electricity contracts that saved Spice Island money.
The Client Says
“I’m so happy with Tritility. I got in touch with a fantastic guy called Louis and he’s made it easy sailing ever since. I don’t have to worry about my bills because I know exactly what I’m paying.
“We’re putting the [money we’re saving] back into the community by sponsoring an Olympic boxer. I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend Tritility to my business friends.”
