THANKS TO OUR PUB ELECTRICITY PRICES, STEVEN SAVED £2,900 ON HIS PUB ELECTRICITY BILL
Pub electricity prices for this pub with no gas supply were quite high. Especially with a large electricity consumption of over 230,000kWh. This translated into an annual bill of over £26,000. The owners had got the best price they could from British Gas, but as one of the country’s leading business energy brokers, we have the buying power of all our customers to negotiate better prices still. As you know by now, we got another £2,900 off the bill – that is the difference between our British Gas prices and your British Gas prices.
To see how we can help your pub, please call Perfect Clarity today. We are now able to lock in today’s lower prices to start up to a year in advance.
£1,300 ON PUB ELECTRICITY PRICES FOR CENTRAL LONDON PUB
In this case, an 18% saving and they did not switch supplier
Cheryl called us in April 2014 when she received the renewal letter from British Gas for her electricity supply.
The prices on offer from British Gas would have cost Cheryl’s pub over £7,250 in electricity for the next 12 months. At the time, our best pub electricity prices were also from British Gas, but our buying power in the market meant our prices were a staggering £1,300 less than they offered Cheryl’s pub. That is 18% cheaper by using Perfect Clarity.
Interestingly, it was also £1,000 cheaper than the prices British Gas had been charging for the previous 12 months.
We also got Cheryl a saving on her smaller £700 gas costs. We did this by changing supplier to one with no standing charge – the standing charge can account for a high proportion of the overall bill on small volumes such as this. It easily outweighed the current charges to the tune of £150 (21% saving).
£700 CHEAPER PUB ELECTRICITY PRICES
Using our exclusive prices
The landlady of an East Sussex pub was put in touch with us by another of our clients. Ann had nearly accepted a price from her current electricity supplier. This would have resulted in annual bills of around £4,350.
We simply switched Ann’s electricity supplier to the best available, and this resulted in a £700 saving.
The morale of the tale (as if you didn’t know already) is that energy companies only look after themselves, certainly not their customers. That’s where we come in!
THERE ARE ENERGY BROKERS, AND THEN THERE ARE ENERGY BROKERS
Be careful who you talk to
Ted is now the landlord of several pubs in the south of England. He first approached Perfect Clarity to help with the energy bills at his first pub. We did our usual trawl of the exclusive prices we get from all the business suppliers and reported back with the best options available.
Now this is interesting. Ted also asked another ‘broker’ to get a price for him. The prices they came back with would have cost Ted’s pub over £500 a year more than the pub electricity prices from Perfect Clarity. Experience, market knowledge and supplier relationships are so important. There are a lot of rogue brokers out there, so please be careful who you talk to.
We have since helped Ted with gas and electricity prices at other pubs he has since taken on.
I am a publican and I had already been contacted by another energy broker with a 12 month fixed rate deal, the best available I was reliably informed, but Kevan at Perfect Clarity came back to me with contracts from the same two suppliers, but at cheaper rates! I was impressed, it wasn’t just a better deal all round, but their whole approach was speedy and thoroughly professional, and I expect to be doing business through Perfect Clarity for years to come.
PUB OWNER SAVES OVER £1,000
Thanks to our supplier relationships
Terry’s pub in Sheffield was electricity only, which meant business electricity bills totaling £4,800 in the previous year. E.On wanted to increase his electricity prices to such an extent that his annual costs would have increased by £1,000, and just for 1-year.
We searched our extensive database of suppliers and got Terry a 2-year business electricity contract with another supplier. His annual costs were £400 less than the previous 12 months, and £1,400 less than E.On wanted to charge him for the coming year. His lower prices were locked in for 2-years, at which point we will be in touch with Terry to see what prices are available.
