I think many of us will have heavy hearts today for all of the businesses that have been affected by the roaring fire on Union Street from yesterday.

It's absolutely heartbreaking to see this beautiful building crumble to the ground, and so many who will be devastated by the effects of it.

As an ex salon owner, I can completely empathise with how difficult this must be for everyone involved.

I also remember how easy it used to be, to get caught up in work and to put off fire assessments.

It's not worth the risk. If you have a business book an assessment & make sure your premises is up to date.

For anyone who needs an assessment within Scotland, Central FS are offering initial free of charge audits to tell you what you need to do to stay safe.

It's amazing that there haven't been any reported casualties from this. Well done to the fire service who have worked tirelessly to get this under control.

If you're able to, please reach out to the businesses affected & donate where you can 🙏

💡🔥 ENERGY MARKET UPDATE:
​
We're currently seeing increased volatility in the commercial energy market. Several SME suppliers have temporarily withdrawn pricebooks, and quoting turnaround times are slower than usual.
​
This movement is being driven by rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Global oil and gas markets are reacting to potential supply disruption risks, and wholesale prices are shifting accordingly.
​
What this potentially means for your businesses:
​
• Quoted rates may only be valid for shorter periods of time than usual
• Delays in securing pricing could expose you to higher costs
• Supplier availability is tightening during periods of uncertainty
​
​
If your electricity or gas contract is due for renewal in the next 6-12 months, now is the time to review it as proactive planning protects budgets.
​
Feel free to contact me to discuss your renewal dates or upcoming contracts.

Any enquiries will be responded to upon my return from then onwards.

⚡ Stay Energy Debt-Free with These Simple Tips ⚡
​
Did you know your direct debit amount doesn’t always reflect what you actually owe your energy supplier?
​
Many people assume it does, but this misunderstanding can lead to unexpected energy debt, sometimes running into the thousands.
​
To help you stay in control, here are our top 3 tips to avoid falling into energy debt:
​
1. Submit your meter readings regularly.
Send a reading before the end of every month to ensure accurate billing. (If you have a smart meter, this is done automatically for you.)
​
2. Check your account balance.
Even if you submit readings, don’t forget to review the credit/debit section of your statement, it shows whether you’re in credit or starting to owe money.
​
3. Ask for help if you’re unsure.
If you’re not sure where to find this information on your bill, we’re here to help. Get in touch for a free bill check, and we’ll make sure you’re up to date and on track.
​
Staying informed means staying energy debt–free, and we’re here to make that simple.

Are you asking your broker or consultant the correct questions about your energy bills? 💡
​
Too many business owners and homeowners end up overpaying because they don’t know what questions to ask. We've put together a quick guide & the most important questions to ask your energy consultant:
​
❓Are my bills based on actual meter reads or estimates?
(Estimated bills can quickly lead to energy debt and the only way to find out what you're currently using is if your reads are being sent in to your provider. If you have a smart meter, these should send automatically. If you have an analogue meter, please ensure you give readings in regularly each month. Your energy consultant or broker will be able to tell what you have from your bill or statement).
​
❓ How many kilowatt hours (kWh) am I using per year?
(This is necessary for calculating your cost based on your usage)
​
❓ What is the annual cost of my services?
(This is essential for checking whether your monthly direct debit actually covers your yearly usage and you aren't quietly racking up any debt on your account.)
​
❓ Am I on a fixed or variable tariff? What are the pros and cons of each?
(Fixed gives you certainty, variable can be risky if prices rise - it's important to understand that flexible gives you flexibility and ability to switch, however most fixed tariffs won't allow you to switch without an exit fee. It is difficult to exit contracts for the commercial market, be aware of what your contract means before switching).
​
❓ What will my annual cost be when I switch? What will the savings be, if any?
(This is the most important question to ask to ensure you're saving money by switching)
​
❓ What is the duration of my new contract? And will there be an exit fee to switch?
(Important to ask for both homes and businesses, however with business contracts it's likely you'll be tied in for the duration of your contract. NOT fixing in a commercial contract will cost you a lot more, however this isn't always the case for domestic tariffs).
​
Knowledge is power. (Pun intended) Ensure you ask these questions to make sure your consultant is working in your best interests, not just theirs.
