Your 15-minute neighbourhood energy expert … that’s me, and my small team of helpers.
If I can walk to your home or small business in 15 minutes or fewer, then I will give you a 5% discount on my energy advice services.
My office base is at the Old Print Works, Birmingham, B12 9AH, and is ten minutes walk from my house.
15 minutes means:
- 15 minutes walk from B12 9AH or B12 9LQ – i.e. Balsall Heath; most of Moseley village, Sparkbrook, Highgate, parts of Edgbaston (I am a fast walker).
Reducing the need to travel is one of the most important things we can do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. Reducing car use helps us to connect to people and to nature. My way of working is based on relationships before transactions. Remote working means you can build relationships with anyone anywhere in the world, but it’s much better to build networks of relationships locally. Bumping into my clients while on a trip to the park or the farmers’ market builds relationships in a way that you can’t achieve purely on Zoom.
New clients only. Applies to standard advice packages and bespoke quotes which involve a site visit of two hours or more (i.e. 99% of my clients). This overrides previous discounts including the B12 discount … however to my existing clients with B12 postcodes … I love you all dearly and will continue to apply your previous B12 discount. 15-minute neighbourhood does not apply when I am working on other people’s projects, e.g. Footsteps. Does not apply to clients paying in 6 monthly instalments. Does not apply to organisations with more than 250 employees. If you have multiple sites then the discount applies to sites within my 15-minute neighbourhood only.
If booking online, to claim the 5% discount please enter the coupon code 15 at the checkout. Or if you are paying by invoice I will deduct the 5% from your invoice. If you think you are within my 15-minute neighbourhood, please go ahead and use the coupon code 15 I trust you to use your discretion. If I don’t think you are within my 15-minute neighbourhood then I will only challenge you if there is a clear and obvious geographical reason to do so. If you are within the 15-minute neighbourhood then I will usually walk or cycle, but there may be occasions when I have appointments further afield immediately before or after you, in which case I may drive (car exempt from the Birmingham Clean Air charge due to its emissions rating). The 15-minute discount is not time-limited, so as long as I am healthy enough to walk and cycle then it will continue.

Are you ready to be energy confident?
We face a Climate Emergency – you can make a difference
“What do you want to do about climate change?”
YOU’RE READY TO TAKE ACTION.
You’re here because you know that government and big business should do more, but you don’t want to wait for them. You’re committed to do whatever you can.
What will you do next? What help do you need from me?
Tell me about your home or your business, and I will advise you on a whole-building plan, looking at all the fabric of the building and its appliances. I will show you how the ways people live, work, sleep, relax, wash, cook and eat in your building cause it to waste energy and water. I will show you the right things you can do for your home, your family or co-workers, and for the planet. I will also tell you if you’re doing any of the wrong things, and show you how to make changes.
Working with me will give you:
- Clarity on where to begin
- Confidence that you are taking the right actions for your building
- Cost-effective use of your money and resources
- Carbon savings by implementing the right measures and monitoring their effectiveness.
Contact me now and let’s get you energy confident.“
