PREPARE FOR WINTER CANCEL OUT WINTER ENERGY PRICE RISE WITH A SWITCH Nick Keenlyside Nine in ten (94%) small businesses believe energy prices are about to go up again, with twothirds (67%) anticipating a rise of 10% or more over the next year, according to research from price comparison service Make It Cheaper. Winter is the most likely time of the year for energy companies to announce price rises (to cash-in on our higher consumption when it’s cold). If that happens this year - as is widely predicted - it might be time to look at switching energy supplier. Jonathan Elliott, managing director of Make It Cheaper, says: “Of all the overheads we speak to businesses about, the relentless rise in energy prices has caused the most bitterness. For whatever reason, over half of businesses have ended up on the wrong kind of energy contracts with some paying in excess of 20 pence per unit for their electricity. A quick phone call to us will tell you that new contracts are available at closer to 10 pence a unit for electricity or just under four pence a unit for gas.” Focused on Farming Jamesons is a leading supplier of feeds, seeds and fertilisers to farm throughout the north of England Our experienced team means we can supply you effectively, quickly and at the right price Our new trade counter for farmers has good stocks of raddles, harnesses, crayons etc. We also stock electric fencing, rat poison and markers and foot treatments.
