With energy-led inflation at a 40-year high and businesses becoming increasingly concerned with rising bills, two Hull firms have launched a new partnership to try and counter it.
360 Chartered Accountants is working with River Energy to help clients access efficient energy solutions, in a bid to protect the bottom line. It comes as eyes turn to Westminster for solutions to follow the domestic measures brought in by Prime Minister Liz Truss’ new government.
Adrian Hunter, managing director at 360, which has offices in Hull and York, said: “Many of our clients are understandably worrying about the rising cost of energy bills at the moment. Businesses haven’t been covered by the price cap and have had to swallow rising gas and electricity costs.

"Bills are becoming unsustainable, jobs are at risk, not forgetting further inflation rises to come. That’s why we have partnered with River Energy, to ensure our clients get the best possible help and advice to weather this crisis.”
Energy audits, reducing gas and electricity costs and greener alternatives are all on the agenda, as well as help with access to grant funding and/or tax incentives where available.
Ashley Hunter, managing director, River Telecoms and Energy, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering up with 360. They are one of the leading, most dynamic accountants in the region and we are looking forward to working with them to drive down energy costs for businesses during this extremely difficult period.”
