Our client said:
BCR Associates were able to organise all our energy
contracts into manageable groups allowing us to obtain very
competitive unit rates for our gas and electrical energy
needs. The process was without any hitches. The end result
was a manageable portfolio of energy agreements at rates a
good deal less than we were paying. We are now able to
properly analyse our energy usage. Thanks BCR Associates.”
