We’re delighted to share some fantastic news from this year’s Bidcorp UK Supplier Awards: our Principal Consultant (Energy), Tom Handslip, has been recognised as New Service Manager of the Year!

This award is a testament to Tom’s unwavering commitment to energy consultancy, sustainability leadership, and service excellence. Over the past year, Tom has been a trusted advisor to Bidfood and its sector partners, consistently going above and beyond to support their energy management and carbon reduction goals.

Why Tom Stands Out

Tom’s industry expertise and proactive approach have made a lasting impact. His work has:

  • Strengthened relationships across the foodservice and hospitality sector.
  • Improved energy reporting processes for greater transparency and compliance.
  • Driven continuous improvement initiatives that benefit all stakeholders.

Responding to complex queries around Climate Change Agreements (CCA) and engaging with bodies such as CSDF and the Environment Agency, Tom has demonstrated exceptional perseverance and professionalism. His efforts have not only enhanced credibility but also laid the foundation for long-term improvements in energy performance, net zero strategies, and sustainability compliance.

Speaking on Tom’s award win, Bidcorp said:
“Over the last year, Tom has been a trusted and valued advisor to our business. Responding to numerous queries raised by the Sector body in relation to Bidcorp’s Climate Change Agreements, all of which fell outside of the standard remit.”

A Well-Deserved Recognition

Tom’s achievement reflects the values we hold dear at Energise: collaboration, innovation, and a relentless focus on delivering positive outcomes. We couldn’t be prouder of this recognition and the difference Tom continues to make for our clients.

Congratulations Tom, and a huge well done to all the winners and nominees at the Supplier Awards!
