Categorically an outstanding, dedicated, professional albeit friendly energy consultancy who have proactively worked with us to deliver substantial savings across our Group energy contract. I’ve worked closely with Rauf Bashir, Corporate Sales Manager for a long time and he has made managing all energy issues as effortless as a gentle summer breeze.

I would confidently recommend their services to other social housing providers who are looking to appoint an expert team that are fully capable of managing the Group's utility contracts effectively and efficiently.
