The truth about energy brokers: the risks & opportunities for manufacturers

Energy is a critical concern for UK manufacturers – making every opportunity to reduce costs worth pursuing. Many businesses therefore seek expert support from Third-Party Intermediaries (TPIs), such as energy brokers, with their procurement and managing risk.

While TPIs can act as an invaluable conduit between suppliers and the end user, bad actors in this space can exacerbate issues around high energy costs while creating further uncertainty within the market.

But making informed energy decisions begins long before sourcing external support. Inspired’s and Make UK’s new report Energy Brokers: Intermediaries in a Changing Energy Landscape explores navigating the non-domestic TPI market ahead of the upcoming regulation, along with the value an expert partnership can create.

Join us on Wednesday 15 April 2026 at 10am for a 60-minute webinar where we discuss the report findings, help manufacturers spot good TPI practice and the steps businesses can take to protect themselves.

We will cover:

• How transparency is critical: you must ensure fees, contracts, and obligations are clear.
• Due diligence protects your business: what to consider when choosing the right intermediary for you?
• Regulation is coming: what does this mean in practice?
• Real-life examples: Make UK members share their experiences and lessons learned.
