Grain to glass

Serving the entire supply chain

The malt supply chain depends on more than just quality ingredients. It depends on the smart, sustainable and cost-effective use of energy and utilities.

That’s where we come in.

We partner with businesses across the malt industry to deliver tailored solutions that drive operational efficiency, reduce environmental impact and unlock long-term value. Whether it’s managing energy procurement, optimising water usage or supporting decarbonisation goals, we help your business to make informed, strategic decisions.

From the field to the final pour, we’re proud to support the people and processes that take malt from grain to glass.

Our Services

Flexible Energy Contracts

Flexible energy contracts allow you to spread your purchasing and selling decisions over multiple points in time to provide long-term cost control. A customised flexible procurement strategy could offer you the balance of risk, budget certainty, and price opportunity you’re looking for.

Energy Intensive Industries (EII) Schemes

If your organisation is operating within Energy Intensive Industries (EII), the Consultiv team can support you in securing compensation and exemption to help alleviate the impact of renewable energy taxes and non-commodity charges.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)

PPAs are typically a contractual agreement between your organisation and a renewable energy generator. These long-term agreements involve an amount of renewable energy (such as solar or wind) being purchased at a fixed price over a set period of time.

Account Management

Personalised account management is at the heart of our service. We pride ourselves on the speed of our communication, efficient query resolution, and the highest standards of customer service. Your dedicated Account Manager will be your central point of contact and liaise with the wider team to deliver our market-leading services.

Energy Risk Management

With the unprecedented pricing and sporadic volatility within the energy market, implementing an effective energy risk management strategy will provide long-term cost control and budgeting for your organisation. Our team adopt a tailored approach to implement the optimal energy contract for your business, trade the volume on your behalf and report on performance.

Bureau

Our powerful invoice validation software is combined with expert human resources to deliver bespoke invoice validation services across multiple countries, suppliers, and landlord bills. All of your invoice formats are catered for, with the ability to identify invoice format changes and errors in the validation outputs.

Energy Generation and Storage

A growing number of organisations are now choosing to invest in low-carbon energy generation initiatives to support their net zero and ESG credentials. This not only helps to reduce a business’s carbon footprint but also reduces long-term overheads and helps to safeguard against rising wholesale energy costs.

Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)

The ESOS is designed to help large organisations in the UK improve their energy efficiency and reduce their environmental impact. We can help you start your ESOS journey right away, whether you took part in Phase 1-3, or if you are new to the scheme and unsure of your energy compliance requirements.

100% Renewable Energy Products

Renewable energy can provide reliable power supplies and fuel diversification. When you take one of our products, you can choose to make it green. That means you know it comes from 100% renewable sources such as the sun, sea, wind, or waste and you will receive our Green Certification as confirmation.
