Better Connected: The Benchmark in British Energy Procurement

With over 36 years of collective intelligence at the intersection of energy management and telecommunications, Better Connected operates as the premier consultancy for UK businesses seeking high-stakes procurement precision. We don’t just find prices; we architect energy strategies.

Scale & Authority

We currently command the management of over 24 Gigawatts of electricity and gas supply contracts. This massive aggregate volume grants our 800+ clients—from agile SMEs to multi-site corporations—leveraged access to wholesale market rates usually reserved for the UK’s largest industrial players.

The “Best in Class” Distinction

Our reputation is our strongest currency. In the most recent Cornwall Insight Guide, Better Connected was officially recognized as a “Best in Class” TPI (Third Party Intermediary). This accolade confirms our adherence to the highest transparency and ethical standards in the sector—a critical factor for the CEO and Founder-level stakeholders we serve.

Specialized Energy Portfolio Management (EPM)

For high-intensity users (exceeding 30,000 units/month) and complex multi-site estates, we deploy dedicated Energy Portfolio Managers. Our EPMs provide:

Contract Alignment: Synchronizing disparate end-dates into a single, manageable portfolio.
Bespoke Risk Hedging: Tailoring contract length and pricing structures to protect against market volatility.
Transparent Auditing: A commitment to “Information Only” auditing, ensuring our clients retain total control while we provide the market’s most rigorous second-opinion benchmarks.

The Better Connected Promise

We bridge the gap between complex utility markets and boardroom-ready results. Through total commission transparency and a “service-first” methodology, we ensure that energy remains a controlled asset, rather than an unmanaged liability.

Connected People

Ashley Barrett – Sales Director

As a national sales consultant with 15 years experience in this arena, my primary role is visiting new and existing clients and dealing with the procurement of their utility and renewable services, and across our full portfolio of products & services. I also lead on all of Better Connected’s sales activities, both field telesales, setting all targets for the business. Additionally, I liaise with our central office team across customer service issues and the training and development of our staff.

Phil Jones – Energy Consultant

I specialise in dealing with multi-site and large corporate clients’ energy supplies. Day to day, I deal with a diverse range of tasks and projects, which include Energy Management Action Plans (reduction in consumption & ongoing monitoring); energy procurement & cost analysis; energy Mapping; aM&T services; fixed telecom purchasing & cost analysis; telecom data purchasing & cost analysis (broadband, fibre, ethernet etc); Solar PV and Wind Turbine – installation/site survey/installation/maintenance/monitoring as you’ve probably established, I live and breathe energy and business services!

Chris McCabe – Contract Administrator

My priority is to deal with existing clients on their renewal process across all products, offering help and support in all areas. This requires me to liaise with all suppliers producing energy proposals and inputting contracts. I routinely make courtesy calls to our existing client base to update them about the new services available to them, and new ways to save money and increase efficiency across their business.

Charlene Jones – Head of Marketing

As Head of Marketing at Better Connected, I manage the day to day marketing activities and creation of marketing material within the business.

Also, within this role I manage the allocation of field sales manager appointments and the tracking of marketing costs.

Our team is continuously expanding, and we’re always interested to hear from bright individuals across field and telesales, sales support and administration roles.
