This is a bonus podcast featuring in season 2 of The Metal Guys Talk Business.

In this episode we were joined by Liam Conway, head of Business Development at Control Energy Costs https://cec.uk.com 

With energy prices at the top of many manufacturers agenda this year, Liam talks us through the reasons why energy costs have spiked so dramatically, what today's (21st September 2022) government announcement means for businesses in the UK, and what companies could be doing to best try and protect themselves from the current situation.

This podcast was recorded online on the 21st of September 2022 only hours after the government energy announcements. It is yet to be seen what the final or lasting impact will be of the energy crisis that is disrupting European Businesses, but we hope this podcast gives you an honest opinion on today's events.

What is The Metal Guys Talk Business?

Peter Comerford and Mike Bolton are The Metal Guys! They have worked in the metal sector for over 10 years, a huge global industry that produces more than a billion tonnes of material annually and affects all other industries and walks of life.

They now run a successful recruitment and marketing company servicing the metal and engineering sectors, making them ideally placed to provide impartial, independent insight into the industry, sitting outside the hierarchy of the various stages of the industry from raw material to finished product.

Under the moniker of The Metal Guys, the pair continue to gain insights from - and ask the difficult questions to - the decision makers and technical experts that you won't hear on any other podcast.

If you produce, work with or supply metal, then tune in and join the conversation.
