Opus Energy reaches out to SMEs via competition

Opus Energy is one of the UK’s leading independent business energy suppliers. The company employs over 600 people between its Northampton and Oxford offices. Opus Energy supplies more than 200,000 business locations across the UK with energy. In addition, Opus Energy also purchases power from over 1500 renewable generators in the UK, which it then supplies to its customers.

Opus Energy was keen to show its commitment to working with SMEs and increasing the traction it has with this audience.

Recent research from the energy firm revealed 54 per cent of UK SMEs believe time pressure is holding back the growth of their company. And, while many businesses see marketing as vital to growth, the research also found that 40 per cent say a lack of budget is the biggest barrier to undertaking more marketing and PR, followed by a lack of expertise (25 per cent) and time (25 per cent).
