Clarion Housing Group is the largest housing association in the United Kingdom with 125,000 properties across more than 170 local authorities.
Meaning they provide homes to over 350,000 people.
With such a vast portfolio and large number of people and families reliant on their services, Clarion understands the importance of carefully managing costs and delivering quality service.
Price certainty during a volatile market
Working with Inenco over a number of years has enabled Clarion to make well-informed decisions aligned to their strategic vision and to secure significant savings.
By acting on the advice and insight from Inenco, in terms of an effective energy procurement trading strategy, Clarion has helped prevent its residents from incurring an extra £54m in rising energy costs by capping energy prices.
This has helped hundreds of Clarion’s households, particularly during the challenging time in the energy market as prices soared.
Expert advice
With over 50 years of experience in energy management Inenco are able to use their expertise to tailor a procurement approach suited to business requirements and appetite.
Opting for a capped strategy has provided Clarion with price certainty and protection against rising prices, which has been key during recent market volatility.
Careful bill validation
It’s no secret that energy bills are notorious for including material errors. Which is why in addition to energy procurement services Clarion opted to take advantage of Inenco’s Invoice Validation capability.
This dedicated team check and correct billing issues, taking the leg work out of chasing suppliers and recovering or avoiding over payments.
Challenging incorrect supplier invoicing has meant that Clarion has been able to recover over £221k to date.
The results
The savings from implementing an effective procurement trading strategy have helped Clarion to minimise costs where possible for their customers. In addition, the careful bill validation has enabled Clarion to achieve their own savings, meaning they can better use these funds in helping to keep customers homes, buildings and neighbourhoods well maintained.
