Powersave Direct | Utility Consultancy

What Powersave Direct | Utility Consultancy does

Powersave Direct Ltd is a privately held UK utility consultancy founded in 1999 and headquartered in Cradley Heath, West Midlands. The company acts as an outsourced project manager that coordinates connections, disconnections, diversions, and temporary builders' supplies across gas, electricity, water, and BT/telecoms utilities on behalf of construction and development clients. Its core services span pre-tender feasibility studies, permanent utility connections, temporary site supplies, disconnections and diversions, and smart meter installation coordination, delivered by a small in-house project management team through dedicated project managers assigned per engagement.

The business model is professional services, fee-based, and project-by-project. Management fees are built per engagement based on plot/unit count, connection types, and project complexity, with payment due after quotations are forwarded to the client and tied to acceptance of utility quotations; no upfront payment is required. Sales motion is enterprise field sales targeting construction developers, contractors, architects, and housebuilders, acquired through website quote forms, direct phone/email contact, content marketing, and customer referrals. Named clients include Domino's Pizza, Miller Homes, Benfield Homes, Stevens Homes, Rok, Grehan Contractors, and Wyeth Project Services, with active sector diversification into industrial, hospitality, leisure, and education alongside the residential developer core. The company is privately held by founder and Managing Director Mandie Brown, with no external venture capital or private equity investment evidenced. A 2009 partnership with BritishEco Ltd extends the offering into renewable energy solutions (solar PV, heat pumps, biomass, rainwater harvesting) for new-build developments.
