South Tyneside assurance service specialists, Pentagon Assurance, is expanding after more than doubling its turnover, securing several new contracts in the energy sector.

​Since establishing itself in 2017 at One Trinity Green, in South Shields, Pentagon Assurance has more than doubled its turnover setting the business on track for continued sustainable growth this year. Pentagon Assurance helps clients within the engineering, manufacturing, energy and construction industries across the UK and globally to successfully manage projects by managing risks and implementing change.

Alongside securing a number of subsea and offshore contracts, Pentagon Assurance has partnered with fellow South Tyneside business, The Energy Check, to offer energy audits to its business and domestic customers, enabling them to identify practical cost saving measures and sustainability improvements to reduce emissions and waste.

Pentagon Assurance Managing Director Barry Cooper said: “Our customers come from a range of industries and are looking to us for expertise to help them develop sustainability of their organisations by managing risks threats and opportunities".

“Whilst we have a successful track record within the energy sector, our partnership with The Energy Check signifies a change in our approach to offer an energy use assessment, which is not sector specific and which coupled with our technical expertise in this field will set us apart. Our business is about providing confidence and this contract reflects the confidence of our customers in our services, which is testament to the work of the team over the last 3 years”.

The Energy Check have worked with Pentagon Assurance for the past two years to develop the energy management auditing service and gain certification for their UKAS ISO 14001:2015 environmental and ISO 50001 energy management systems David Winton, CEO of The Energy Check, said: “We started working with Pentagon Assurance to help support, build and maintain our UKAS ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. We quickly realised the benefits of working together and are looking forward to being able to offer energy audits to our customers across the UK, enabling them to save money and reduce their carbon footprint.”
