Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 129 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the approachable and exceptionally knowledgeable staff members who provide outstanding support, making the entire process of switching and managing various energy contracts completely effortless. Many people warmly mention the impressive financial savings achieved alongside the dedicated, transparent guidance offered by their assigned account managers throughout the partnership. However, some reviewers were not happy with unexpected hidden fees and overly aggressive communication tactics during the negotiation process. A small group of consumers felt pressured into unfavorable agreements, subsequently facing significantly higher monthly bills than they originally anticipated.

After Sales Service

After Sales Service. I had an issue with a scammer trying to alter my electricity contract. I called Direct Business Solutions and they resolved the problem very quickly.

Direct Business Group signed me up for…

Direct Business Group signed me up for metering services with Siemens a year before my contract start date so I'm currently having to pay Siemens for a service I don't need! Despite following up with Direct Business Group weekly, they've done nothing to rectify it! I really wouldn't recommend.

Both Ethan and Mike were fantastic

Both Ethan and Mike were fantastic, no use of jargon and explained everything clearly. It all made sense and both were personable, eager to help and found us a much better rate, despite being on an okay one before. Very happy customer.

Spam me with telephone calls

Spam me with telephone calls despite being TPS registered. Then spam email explaining why they rang! No respect for privacy.

Great Price and Great Customer Service

Great customer service, I really feel we have built a great relationship, where DBS Danielle understands our business and gets us great prices. She goes the extra mile, and deals with our supplier on our behalf tying up loose ends and resolving queries with them, freeing up our business's time and saving us a lot of money. We have been with them since 2022 and their prices have been so competitive that no other company - and I have tried, has got close to them.

Absolutely devastated

Absolutely devastated. Told my rates would go down if the market shifted. An absolute lie. Account manager gone silent, won’t reply. Complaints team have followed up but seem to have a water tight response to every email or WhatsApp. Never will do business will these crooks again. Not sure how they sleep at night. No compassion, no empathy. Avoid at all costs.

Stacey Patterson is a superstar

Stacey Patterson is a superstar. We have switched to British Gas from Kings Gas and Power and between the 2 companies my workload has increased from 2 hours per month to 2 hours every other day trying to sort out readings, invoicing and payments.
Stacey is liaising with BG for me every day until we get things sorted.
Not a great experience but Stacey is great.
