FES reports: why commission reports from FES?

Firstly, FES is committed to being topical. If a major industry development happens today, then FES’s take on board what it means, where it will impact and what it will cost. That report will be ready not in months but in weeks, and sometimes days. With associates used to working to weekly deadlines this will be second nature. Secondly it will be concise. Our analysis of key industry sectors, decisions and developments will leave out what you already know or don’t need to know and cut to the key facts and interpretations. We can do this because as a group we have many years experience covering the energy sector in Britain and Europe. Thirdly, our industry reports will be affordable. Not ‘cheap’ or low value, but within the budget of managers who are, now more than ever, having to cope with unprecedented budgetary constraints just at a time when accurate, insightful and fast market information is needed more than ever to ensure corporate survival. Finally, there is a unique piece of added value. Our industry reports will, as we have said, respond to or anticipate industry events. But if a client wants to go further, to explore a particular facet of a report, drill down deeper, or go in a different direction altogether, then Future Energy Strategies can provide a bespoke report and analysis service just for your company alone. In future, we hope to be able to supplement out service with discussion-based events, aimed at increasing energy market understanding and promoting best practice. Go to Reports…
