Optimised

What Optimised does

Optimised is a UK-based energy management and decarbonisation consultancy headquartered in Blackpool with additional offices in Bristol and Redhill, employing 51-100 staff and operating as a privately held, B Corp-certified firm. The company delivers managed services across three core pillars: Utility Management (cost recovery, procurement, bureau administration, and tenant recharging), Building Optimisation (BEMS optimisation, metering, energy analysis, 24/7 remote optimisation, and IoT integration), and Net Zero (advisory, energy transition, and regulatory reporting). Its proprietary technology stack combines a Carbon Tracking System for Scope 1, 2, and 3 measurement, the Cecil client portal for utility management, a UK-based Remote Optimisation Centre for continuous building oversight, and an IoT Building Integration Platform that connects BEMS, sensors, and metering systems into a unified analytics layer. The company also operates a public-facing Energy Cost Calculator and the 'Connect by Optimised' Knowledge Hub to support demand generation.

Optimised serves more than 500 enterprise and multi-site clients across commercial real estate, manufacturing, hospitality, retail, pharmaceuticals, and renewable generation, including Hilton, Wembley, NSK, Argent, 22 Bishopsgate, Great Ormond Street Hospital, KeolisAmey, Sodexo, Primark, Superdry, Radisson Blu, Kings Cross, and The Office Group. The business model is predominantly managed services on multi-year contracts, supplemented by a no-find, no-fee cost recovery stream and project-based net zero advisory. Customer outcomes cited include £45M in cumulative cost savings delivered, 200,000 tonnes of CO2 reduced, 2.5 TWh of energy under management, and typical building optimisation ROI in under 12 months. In April 2025, Optimised acquired Control Energy Costs (CEC) to expand its UK utility management and net-zero footprint, and it has built co-marketing relationships (e.g., a 2026 ESG reporting webinar with IBM) to position for tightening UK compliance regimes including UK ETS, ESOS Phase 4, SECR, MEES, and UK SRS.
