As there are a number of different types of utility companies, and a great deal of accreditations to be aware of, clients of the energy industry often require a map to navigate the complexities of the system. Utility Source is that map, guiding developers and all manner of clients through the energy industry whilst delivering high-quality utilities for all properties. However, Utility Source is aware of the challenges facing the industry today. Energy is directly impacted by construction, as the two go hand- in-hand when managing build strategies. Often, developers are working on a number of projects, but the latest wave of uncertainty around Brexit has resulted in many concentrating on completing one development before moving on to another project. In what is already an ever-changing and volatile market, constant levels of success for this firm are to be lauded tremendously. In spite of the challenges, the firm remain positive and continue to achieve great things for the industry. The Sheffield City Region is a thriving business community and Utility Source has received business support from the Sheffield Launchpad, more specifically the Rotherham Investment and Development Office (RIDO). This funded initiative has enabled Utility Source to access support, training and mentorship that have helped organise and present the business. On a daily basis the company have cultivated networking opportunities with project developers and investors, establishing a strong presence across the North of England. Overall, Utility Source’s success comes from hard work, dedication and exceptional customer service in their field.
