Kate Jack, head of SME propositions and campaigns at Npower, said: “Small and medium sized businesses are the lifeblood of the UK economy.” She knows that “Energy usage is often dismissed by SMEs as a cost of doing business and many aren’t exploring the considerable savings they could make, which would free up money to reinvest in their businesses,” and wants these stories “To inspire other business owners from across the country to make their own significant savings.” Video ads, like the one above starring SME owner “Howard,” featuring three other SME champions will follow later this month.
