Procure Smart is pleased to announce that we have joined Sunderland’s Business Improvement Districts as an Affiliate Member. Our mission is to help businesses switch key areas of expenditure to save money, and this partnership with Sunderland’s BIDs will ensure that Sunderland-based BID Levy Payers, Affiliate members and stakeholders have a direct link to the service and savings we can provide.
Sunderland’s Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are a collaborative effort driven by businesses, united under a single vision: to create a vibrant city with opportunities for everyone. They provide invaluable business support, and Procure Smart is proud to be one of the services supporting the local business community.
Two in five small-to-medium enterprises fear closure within five years due to energy costs (Source), while heating has become a “luxury” for 50% of SMEs. These are harrowing statistics for the Sunderland business community, and we are determined to support as many local businesses as possible to continue to thrive well into the future.
Our client portfolio also includes market-leading global brands and complex manufacturers, who trust us to deliver long-term value to their business, so larger companies can rest assured that we can help them too.
With support and savings available on business energy, water, waste, telecoms, card payments and renewables projects, including full account management, data-driven systems and fair & transparent standards as founding members of the ECA, businesses can trust that their needs will be met and exceeded by our team of experts.
Craig Shields, Managing Director of Procure Smart, said, “Becoming an Affiliate Member of Sunderland’s BIDs is a proud moment for us as a Sunderland-headquartered business. The support which businesses can access via the BIDs is extensive, and our services are another tool in the belt of companies striving for success in an increasingly turbulent environment. We have long been supporters of the BIDs and their work in our city, so joining forces to support as many businesses as possible is a real milestone.”
Sharon Appleby, Chief Executive of Sunderland’s BIDs, added, “Times are tough for businesses, so anything that can help reduce costs is very welcome. We have a long-standing relationship with Procure Smart, which we are excited to build on and help more businesses save time and money.”
