    Success Continues For Signum

    We have continued with our growth plans over the last year and are pleased to report a number of exciting client updates along with the appointment of two new members to the Signum team.

    We have recently renewed our contract with a long-standing client, Hikvision, a security system specialist with a base in Doncaster, to now include planned preventative maintenance (PPM) services for statutory compliance with fire, emergency lighting, pat testing and legionella monitoring. This work continues alongside the delivery of reactive maintenance services when required and is an exciting development for us.

    In addition, we have extended our relationship with a global leader in motion and control technologies, and have a new three-year contract with its office in Leamington Spa.

    Here we will work alongside its onsite team to provide facilities support services that ensure that the site maintenance activities comply with legislation and industry codes of practice. We are developing, delivering and monitoring PPM schedules and the facilities helpdesk as well as managing existing supply chain contractors and identifying opportunities to improve services or ensure value for money. We have also undertaken asset surveys here and at the firm’s Dublin site so that we can assess the site requirements for compliance which helps us to develop the PPM schedules.

    In Rotherham, we have carried out a deep clean for the Old Town Hall and are working with them on some compliance issues such as legionella management and general maintenance.

    And on top of all that we are thrilled to be welcoming three new members of staff to our growing team. Philip Hagerty joins us as a multi skilled engineer, Sally Lister is our new facilities coordinator and Les Thompson is a maintenance coordinator.

    Why Great Procurement Is Essential For Net Zero

    In our guest blog, Linda Spencer, MD of local business energy consultancy, Professional Energy Purchasing, discusses how energy procurement has a crucial role to play in delivering better energy management and important net zero goals.

    Buying energy and planning for net zero can feel like a daunting task, with many unsure where to start. We help businesses to secure the best procurement contracts to meet their objectives, reduce their energy through data analysis and efficiency audits, and plan to achieve net zero carbon.

    With energy prices soaring reaching levels not seen for years, businesses need to have a well-considered energy plan in place.  Many of our clients are moving away from traditional fixed-term contracts which would lock them in at these current high rates, to more flexible dynamic contracts which spreads their risk.

    When businesses are looking to reduce their energy use, they need to ensure this is co-ordinated with existing contract terms. Take or pay contracts will charge for the forecast power whether it is used or not which could be significant and may impact on any payback periods.

    Having solid data which explains how much energy is used, and where and when it is used is essential for a clear actionable plan.  We can generate reports to help to identify savings opportunities, allow you to set realistic targets and measure success.

    Having a detailed energy audit will pinpoint additional energy saving opportunities across site(s) to provide a robust, costed plan which the business use as the foundation of a net zero plan.

    And finally we can offer electricity from zero-carbon sources which has become much more accessible over the last few years.
