Almost four months ago the hospitality industry was asked to close its doors in order to halt the spread of COVID-19. During that period, many businesses diversified in order to keep trading, while other well-known brands as well as local micro businesses announced they were closing for good. Now, the industry has been given the green light to open* – and although it’s going to be great to see our pubs, restaurants and cafes open their doors once again – it’s not going to be quite business as usual for some time. A significant number of Utility Bidder clients are in the hospitality sector and we will be with you every step of the way as you prepare your businesses for reopening.

Excellent service from Kenny in the Manchester office, he worked hard to find the best price for me and explained everything along the way.
Will definitely use him again in the future and would recommend.

I spoke to Paul Kay this morning who in the space of 30 mins looks to have halved my salon electric bill, he was personable, knowledgeable and honest. The proof will be seeing if the bills actually reduce and if so I will leave another review but so far an excellent service

Without a doubt utility bidder has saved my sanity. They have sorted months of going around in circles with a supplier in under a week.
I would highly recommend to everyone I know.

I have just worked with Alex from Utility Bidder to sort our electricity contract today. He has got us an excellent price for our charity and it has all been sorted in half an hour (possibly less!). He was extremely helpful. THANK YOU

Had a call from Alex York who within minutes had arranged a new electricity contract with a new supplier. He was extremely courteous, professional and friendly. Highly recommend.

Rob says that thanks to the competitive rates secured by Utility Bidder in his studio, it would be cheaper to live there than at home! “We pay about £30 a month for gas during the winter and around £25 a month for electricity – and that’s despite having a lot of energy-guzzling equipment such as studio lights and fan heaters. Our energy bills at home are far more expensive!”
