Marshall-Tufflex seminar puts buzz into event

Business opportunities for electrical contractors offering customers energy saving systems in domestic and commercial locations will be the focus of a workshop delivered by Marshall-Tufflex at the forthcoming Electric Event (May 28-30, ICC Birmingham).

Jeremy Dodge, Head of Marketing and Technical Services at the UK manufacturer, will present the ‘Reduce energy costs, build customer loyalty’ seminar, looking at the importance of understanding a client’s energy profile and selecting the right energy saving solution.

“Both the Department of Energy and Climate Change and the National Grid are advising that energy prices will continue to rise for the next decade at least,” said Mr Dodge. “It therefore makes sense for electrical contractors, from sole traders to nationwide providers, to consider how they can help customers save money by reducing energy use and, for commercial clients, implement an energy management strategy.

"From experience we know that contractors taking the initiative in this way also benefit from greater customer loyalty. We will be exploring this approach and discussing opportunities during the workshop.”

The workshop is scheduled for the afternoon of Thursday, May 29. For free tickets to The Electric Event exhibition and workshops on that day, visit www.electricevent.co.uk click on ‘Register’ and quote ‘MTF001’ on the form.
