Client Testimonials
Property & Asset Management
Grant Fieldhouse Ltd – Property Consultants
I am very happy to confirm that our experience of Better Connected is excellent and it isn’t exaggerating to say we wouldn’t be able to administer utilities contracts on our clients properties without BC
BC always take the initiative in letting us know when contracts are due for renewal and provide detailed information and explanations on options available and the pros and cons of alternatives. The process of providing letters of authority and other information is always kept as simple as possible to minimise input needed from us or clients
We have found it very difficult dealing with utility companies directly but BC seem able to cut through this and resolve issues quickly and efficiently. BC have also helped with arranging new supplies in a number of instances and have been able to cut thorough an administrative and procedural nightmare to get to the point where a meter is installed and the supply goes live
All thing considered I have no hesitation in recommending BC to others

Would recommend to any company.

Ashbrook Lets
We started using Better Connected a year or so ago. We used to spend lots of time on the phone to energy suppliers, often on hold!, trying to set up new and amend existing accounts.
Since using Better Connected we have no longer had to do this and it has freed up more office time for us to get on with more beneficial tasks
Data Centres
UK Servers – Dedicated Server Specialists
We became a client of Better Connected in 2014 following the recommendation of my father as he was an existing client of theirs. (He still is to date).
We have found the information provided by Better Connected to be accurate and timely, they have advised on any questions we have had throughout existing contract terms. Dealt with any issues on my behalf, and successfully won our business by tender since our first introduction.
Most recently we required a new connection as we took the premises next to our existing building. Better Connected handled this from start to finish and included works for the requirement of an upgrade to our available capacity at site.
In times of change as we are currently experiencing in the UK, having someone to assist with a somewhat complicated trading market has been a massive help.
Hospital & Medical
Fairfield Independent Hospital St. Helens
www.fairfield.org.uk
Fairfield Independent Hospital has been a client of Better Connected (BC) Consultants since January 2011. I would like to confirm that the placement of our electricity and gas supplies has been positioned with success year on year. The independent comparison coupled with the way BC Consultants display the tender results to me, have allowed me to make an informed decision on the most cost effective solution for the placement of my electricity and gas supplies.
Fairfield Independent Hospital uses a considerable amount of energy; we have received independent advice for all of our business utilities and the contracts that have been chosen through BC Consultants have delivered as promised year on year.
BC Consultants have successfully reclaimed overcharges across five of our previous suppliers when we became a client.
If you are considering the independent services of BC Consultants to help your business analyse the costs of business utilities or to assist with forward planning for your energy portfolio, we would recommend their management services.
If you would like an informal discussion on the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.

We were approached by Better Connected in 2013, offering to help reduce our energy charges. This was a service that we had not previously used and agreed to give it a go. Better connected have helped to secure competitive fixed term charges with energy providers for us over the last four years.
One thing we like, we have had the same contracts administrator working with us from day one who checks in on a regular basis, not only does he help with securing rates he also deals with any problem or queries we have with the energy providers.
We would recommend Better Connected to any Business that requires the services they offer.
SDS – Specialist Ducting Supplies
SDS Ltd have employed the services of the above company for several years – for sourcing and implementing contracts with electricity and gas suppliers.

We got in touch with Better Connected to see if they could help us find a better deal on our Gas and Electricity.
From the moment of contact, I found them very efficient, they explained all the terminology, found out about what our business did and then found the best deals for us.
I was always kept in the loop, explained the process and timeline, without ever having to chase them up. They always got in contact with me.
It totally took the stress out of trying to find the best deals, it was an absolute joy to deal with Better Connected and I would totally recommend them to anyone.
