A more direct way of doing business
There is a new trend to do business more directly - and it's being led by small businesses. See how it's changing the way businesses like yours are comparing and buying their energy.
Small businesses have always been close to their customers and suppliers. Now they're leveraging technology, data and innovation to speed up what's being called the 'direct' revolution.
Small manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and service providers - across diverse industries from electronics to food - are selling direct to customers. And to help them do business at speed, they're forging direct relationships with their suppliers.
