Councillor Emma Stokes, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for the Environment at Worcestershire County Council, said: "Worcestershire’s businesses are at the heart of our local economy, and the Business Energy Advice Service is a fantastic initiative to help them reduce energy costs and improve sustainability. With the energy landscape constantly evolving, it’s more important than ever for businesses to act now. I encourage every eligible business to take advantage of the grants and expert advice on offer through this service."
