A Welwyn Garden City-based energy broker came up against "stiff competition" to win a consultancy award.

My Energy Consultants, which helps businesses of all sizes find the best energy deals, was named 'Consultancy of the Year - Large' at The Energy Live Consultancy Awards (TELCA).

The win was based on a case study of work carried out for UK operations of a global flavour manufacturer - presenting ingredients found in global products.

Judges posed questions on ethical standards, supporting the journey to net zero and working within a team.

Khaled Osman, founder and director of sales and service at My Energy Consultants, said: "We’ve always prided ourselves on staying at the forefront of future developments in the business energy industry.

"We don’t just help companies find the best energy deals, we become your partner to help you reduce energy wastage, meet energy legislation obligations and handle your utility infrastructure projects.

"We’re also one of the first business energy brokers to be regulated by the independent Utilities Intermediaries Association (UIA)."

In their case study, My Energy Consultants outlined how they analyse data to look at cost saving opportunities.

At one of their clients' effluent plants, My Energy Consultants helped optimise usage by adapting their method for chemical waste processing and monitoring consumption data, helping the client reduce consumption and make further cost savings.

The company has also worked parallel with customers on green energy projects. Reviewing a recent solar power project, My Energy Consultants advised that the proposal being considered was based on old technology, and improved efficiency and cost savings with their recommendations.

The award win came as a surprise to Khaled, as he said he was facing "stiff competition" from larger consultancies.

He said: "This award justifies all the hard work we put in, especially as the last couple of years haven’t been easy.

"For months we worked literally every day giving costings to our customers to keep them going.

"When I started my business I dreamed of winning something like this and today’s the day!

"With huge thanks to my team as they are the ones who make it happen."
