FFB supports businesses to help them navigate through these challenging times and is scaling up operations and rapidly increasing headcount to deal with the rise in demand from businesses for energy efficiency solutions that will help them reduce energy usage and costs.

Chris Charlton, CEO at Fusion for Business, said: “It’s a very challenging market for businesses right now and we are supporting customers by being able to identify potential revenue income from historical mis-sold energy supply contract claims through honest and transparent energy procurement.

“The roles that have been created include Energy Consultants, Sales Executives and Business Development Managers and I’d particularly welcome applications from anyone who has experience and worked within the energy sector but may have been made redundant or are at threat of redundancy. Hopefully we can support those people back into long-term employment.”
