Finance Awards 2018

www.wealthandfinance-news.com 24 Wealth & Finance International - 2018 Finance Awards Since its inception in 1999, Smith Bellerby has flourished, and today the firm provides strategic advice and practical cost management solutions to senior managers of large, complex organisations to help them dramatically increase operational efficiency, minimise operating costs, effectively manage utility portfolios, and drive sustainable, profitable growth. Today, Smith Bellerby is owned by a holding company, Majestic Securities Limited and sits alongside three other independent Utilities companies within a Group structure: Monarch Partnership Limited, ESS Utility Consultants & Welcome Energy. Smith Bellerby was acquired by Majestic Securities in November 2017 in order to compliment the companies already serviced within the group, given the established, well- recognised and award winning successful work undertaken by Smith Bellerby within the Public/ Private Sectors for both Energy and Telecoms.

Berkley, Colchester Borough Council, Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, Epping Forest District Council and Bush Healthcare, amongst other leading private and public-sector organisations across the UK.
