  • Conducted a detailed review of energy consumption and operational practices.
  • Managed compliance processes, applications, & documentation with minimal burden on the Weetabix team.
  • Delivered advisory support to align energy strategy with sustainability and carbon reduction goals.

 

“I would absolutely recommend Bonham & Brook as a supplier in this space.”

 

Impact & Results

  • Secured participation in the EII incentive, reducing exposure to rising energy costs.
  • Freed up funding to reinvest in sustainability initiatives and new technologies.
  • Supported Weetabix’s commitment to reduce Scope 1 emissions by 53% over the coming years.

 

“Bonham & Brook helped us to identify areas of improvement within our operational side of the strategy, working to understand where our consumption lies & how we can fit within energy‑intensive schemes from the government.”
