The service includes cost effectively purchasing a range of products such as energy, telecoms, water, waste management and more.

Lisa Carlson, CEO at Canterbury BID, commented:

“Working with PSP has been a truly valuable element of our work to support businesses in the face of rising costs. The Savings Scheme is of paramount importance currently, when businesses need help navigating key business decisions in a challenging environment. We have already seen fantastic results for our BID members and more continue to engage with the hope of similar results with the support of the experienced team at PSP.”
