A Solihull-based energy consultancy has doubled in size after securing a £65,000 investment from the Midlands Engine Investment Fund.
UtilityWorks, a partner for businesses looking to reduce their energy costs and become more environmentally friendly, secured the investment through BCRS Business Loans.
The funding boost has allowed the company to move into larger office space and employ additional members of staff.

Founder and sales director Craig Gillespie said: "Securing funding has helped us take a big step towards achieving our ambitious growth plans and we expect to double the size of our workforce again this year.
"I set UtilityWorks up two years ago after becoming frustrated with an industry that was fixated on profit at the expense of customer service.
"We have changed all of that and have set up a model that works for all of the businesses we support."
Louise Armstrong, senior business development manager at BCRS Business Loans, added: "We are delighted to have supported the growth of UtilityWorks which has not only doubled in terms of office size but has also provided four new jobs for local people."
