They run a large 48 bed hotel. Their gas and electric bills and nearly doubled in the past 18 months and rumours of further rises made them reach for the phone and call us. We were able to get them a five year fixed priced contract just before prices rose another 30% in the Spring of 2008. Mr H was thankful. He said “I called Reduce Your Business Utility Bills at just the right time. However if they hadn’t had acted as quickly as they did I would have been about £4,000 per year worse off. That’s money better off in my pocket at the moment”

Their hairdressing salon had been trading successfully for five years but they hadn’t really noticed their utility bills creeping up and had never really though about shopping around and moving suppliers. Until that is they heard that prices might be coming down in the Spring. They contacted us to enquire what they should do. We advised them that switching suppliers is more difficult now due to the credit crunch. On our advice they decided to stay put and look at the issue again a in a few months time. “We could have saved some money” said Miss I “but I think the advice to stay where we are is we think, right at the moment while prices are so volatile”
