Our services

Utilities Management

Companies nowadays are quite rightly seeking competitive bids for gas and electricity ever since the deregulation of the gas and electricity markets. With tariffs for utility supplies no longer being fixed, companies are always on the lookout for the best available tariff.

GM Associates are committed to finding not only the best price but providing a total utilities management service, to give you complete peace of mind.

New Connections

Due to deregulation of the gas and electricity markets, the make-up of the utility industry has changed to allow competition while maintaining security of supply.

Electricity

There are 5 key components to the Electricity Industry:

1. Generators.
2. Transmission.
3. Distribution.
4. Metering.
5. Supplier.

To obtain new supplies, we will normally have to deal with three of these, Distribution, Metering and Supplier.

GM Associates are independent and can manage this complex process for you, meeting your deadlines and achieve best costs for utilites installation and supply.

Gas

Three principle players are concerned with the installation of new or upgrading gas supplies:

1. Network Operator and maintainer
2. Metering
3. Gas suppliers

This industry is technically "supplier lead", which means customers need to contact a supplier to seek quotations for both supply and installation. This can often result in the customer overpaying for either supply, installation or both.

At GM Associates, we seek competitive supply and installation agreements on your behalf and manage the whole process to ensure gas is supplied at the right quantity, at the right time, and at the best price.

Other Utilities

In addition to obtaining Gas and Electricity supplies, we can also assist with the discovery and installation of Water and Sewage services, BT or Cable supplies, and assist you to coordinate these services into your work programmes.

Energy Management

GM Associates can assist organisations to review their existing energy demands and to help set up monitoring programmes to minimise the consumption used.

Energy costs can be reduced by up to 20-30% with effective Energy Management. Site audits and custom reports can be used after tariff optimisation to achieve both savings and to show commitment to environmental objectives.

Metering

1. Accurate tenant apportionment
2. Consumption reports
3. Identifying opportunities to save energy and costs
