Like any other business partner, it’s important that you can rely on your energy broker. Since the deregulation of the energy market, over 70 third party energy brokers have set up. However, not all energy brokers are the same and it’s important that your business finds an energy broker that puts its customers first.
There is no doubt the energy broker business can be quite aggressive and competitive and much of it is unregulated, although, in 2017, new standards IFRS15 were introduced. However, when you are a business looking to find cost-effective gas and electricity, where do you start when it comes to finding a reputable energy consultant?

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
