Working with Burnley businesses
Burnley has an unusually strong advanced manufacturing and aerospace base for a town its size, and the business park stock reflects it — Burnley Bridge on 70 acres at junction 9 of the M65, Network 65, Shuttleworth Mead, Empire Business Park, and the older Rossendale Road, Heasandford and Healeywood estates. Occupiers run from Warburtons down to precision engineering firms, and that mix produces genuine process loads: compressed air, machining, ovens and extraction, all of which sit on half-hourly meters where the capacity rating is worth auditing before you tender. Burnley is also a town where a lot of businesses buy gas in volume, and gas is where we most often find the bigger saving here rather than electricity. In the town centre and out towards Padiham and Nelson, it is the standard independent retail and hospitality picture on small supplies.
We are an independent broker, not a supplier. We compare 30+ suppliers across energy, waste collection, insurance and connectivity, and we are paid commission by the supplier — never a fee by you. Our office is at 5 Liberty Court, Farnworth, Bolton, BL4 9HW.

Covering BB10, BB11, BB12, BB9 and surrounding areas. Commercial waste is a Duty of Care obligation on you as the producer regardless of who collects it — you must be able to produce waste transfer notes on request.

Burnley: frequently asked questions
Who is the electricity distribution network operator for Burnley?+
Electricity North West. The DNO owns and maintains the local network and sets part of your standing charge and distribution costs. It is the same whichever supplier you buy from — so if a quote looks unusually cheap on the standing charge, check what has been left out rather than assuming a better network deal.
Does a broker in Burnley get better rates than going direct?+
Not automatically, but usually yes in practice. Suppliers offer brokers rates not published to the public because brokers bring them volume, and comparing a wide panel rather than one or two suppliers is how most businesses find a better deal. We are paid by the supplier, never by you.
Do you have to visit our premises in Burnley?+
No. Almost everything can be handled on your bill and meter numbers. But we are based in Bolton and we do visit businesses across Lancashire, which is worth having if you would rather talk it through in person than over email.
