Fooditude’s Recipe for Solar Success

In the world of contract catering, Fooditude is known for one thing: serving up happiness. Freshly cooked meals delivered straight to office spaces, no sad salads or limp sandwiches here! But when it came to digesting solar energy options for their own operations, the team found themselves in unfamiliar territory.

Kate Page, their brilliant Sustainability Manager, was keen to explore greener energy but needed a partner who could make sense of it all. Cue True Group, stepping in like the sous-chef she didn’t know she needed.

Solar Quotations, Served Sunny-Side Up

Solar quotes aren’t exactly a buffet of joy. They’re dense, technical and almost designed to confuse. So, Kate decided to seek multiple suppliers for comparison. True Group, like a Michelin-trained maître d', made sure nothing got lost in translation.

“True Group created a clear, easy-to-understand comparison,” she explained. “It saved me significant time and gave me the confidence to know what made a quote strong or weak.”

And we didn’t just analyse the options, we showed impartiality, presenting every quote without bias, even when one came from a long-standing partner. That transparency? It made all the difference.

When the time came to present the findings to senior management and the wider parent company, Kate felt armed and ready. Clear comparisons, practical advice and a neat list of risks and considerations, True Group had her back every step of the way.

“True Group addressed every question that came from leadership with expert insight. It made the whole process smoother and made me look good too.”

What Success Looks Like

For Fooditude, success isn’t just measured in kilowatts or cost savings. It’s about making sustainability feel accessible and achievable, even without an in-house energy expert. It’s about being able to stand in front of leadership and customers with confidence, clarity and conviction.

Success means having a partner who brings honesty and insight to the table, even when decisions are complex. It means knowing that every project – from solar to water – is backed by a clear case, a plan B, and a shared commitment to do the right thing.

With clear, validated supplier analysis at their fingertips and impartial support every step of the way, Fooditude is building a future where sustainability is smart business, not an expensive experiment.

Crunching the Numbers 

For years, True Group have supported Fooditude through shifting energy markets, consistently helping reduce prices and cut through chaos.

45% decrease in standing charges between 2014 and 2023.

61.6% decrease YoY in electricity prices since partnering with True Group.

“What stood out most was True Group’s impartiality. They provided a fair and balanced breakdown of all quotes, allowing us to assess each option independently.”

Beyond the Solar Horizon

Fooditude’s True Group journey goes beyond solar and includes water tenders, billing audits (proving historical accuracy – rare in itself!) and flexible energy contracting. It’s about giving the business clarity so they can focus on doing what they do best.

Feeding offices? Sure. But also feeding into a better energy future.
