Longbow Venues: energy procurement built around the business
For Longbow Venues, procurement support starts with understanding the business. Andy describes how NEC uses that understanding when advising on energy agreements and negotiating with suppliers.
In the customer’s words
We place a great deal of value on our relationship with Nationwide as our utility broker for Longbow Venues. Their approach consistently feels personal rather than transactional, which makes a meaningful difference in how we manage our energy agreements. They take the time to understand the nuances of our business, from operational demands to long-term objectives, and use that insight to guide their recommendations. This level of attention gives us confidence that the advice and options presented are genuinely aligned with our needs, rather than being driven by a one-size-fits-all approach.
What stands out most is their commitment to acting in our best interests during negotiations. Nationwide demonstrates a strong understanding of the market while ensuring that our priorities remain front and centre, securing deals that balance cost-effectiveness with stability and suitability for our operations. Their ability to listen, interpret our requirements, and translate them into tailored solutions adds real value, making them not just a service provider, but a trusted partner in supporting our business.
