Not star ratings — the full story of what we found, what we fixed, and what it saved.
We had two years of silent roll-overs across a fragmented estate. Business Green Energy consolidated everything onto a single renewal date and ran a full tender before the winter peak. The comparison was the first quote document our CFO actually understood — pass-through broken out, no bundled unit rate. We locked a 3-year fix and have not seen a deemed-rate invoice since.

Our half-hourly capacity had been set for a peak we no longer hit. They modelled capacity and pass-through line by line, then negotiated a revised kVA with the DNO before re-tendering. The standing-charge error they uncovered on the old contract was recovered retrospectively. Genuinely the first broker that looked at the meter before the rate.

We switched inside two weeks with no disruption to guests. Renewal reminders are now set 120 days out, so the group never lands on a deemed-rate contract again. The whole process was one named advisor on the phone, not a call-centre queue. I have already referred two other hotel groups.
