Rising energy costs and climate change concerns are placing increasing pressure on organisations to reduce their carbon footprint whilst maintaining operational efficiency. At FMG Consulting, we specialise in helping public and private sector organisations within the leisure and culture sectors develop sustainable energy solutions that drive cost savings and support environmental goals.
Our team combines deep sector knowledge with technical expertise to deliver practical strategies that work in real-world settings. We focus on creating implementable recommendations that reduce energy consumption, cut carbon emissions and enhance operational performance, all whilst supporting your journey towards net zero targets.

Our Approach
Our methodology is built around delivering tangible results through a structured process:
1. Assessment and benchmarking
We begin with comprehensive site visits and operational assessments, benchmarking your current energy use against industry standards and identifying key improvement areas
2. Solution development
Working closely with your team, we create bespoke solutions that address immediate opportunities and long-term strategic goals
3. Business case preparation
We develop robust financial models and supporting documentation to secure internal approval and external funding
4. Implementation support
Our team provides ongoing guidance throughout delivery, from technology selection to contractor management
Services We Offer
We offer energy and sustainability services tailored to the needs of leisure and cultural facilities. Our energy efficiency assessments include site evaluations and operational reviews to identify improvement opportunities. We create carbon reduction roadmaps to cut emissions while maintaining service quality, supported by financial analysis with clear return-on-investment calculations.
We assist with funding applications, including Sport England and Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, to help secure financial support for your initiatives. After funding is secured, we guide technology selection, procurement, and project delivery, along with staff training to sustain and expand energy savings.

- At Leeds City Council's Tropical World, we facilitated the replacement of outdated heating systems with more efficient biomass boilers and heat pumps, substantially reducing carbon emissions
