I would like to thank two members of…

I would like to thank two members of staff, Dan Hackett and John Faucher for their help and support over 2 years, as a business we were miss sold an electricity contract and they have help to sort this mess out. Basically, an unscrupulous broker bullied us into signing an energy contract 2 years ago, in advance of the new contract starting, during Covid.
I rarely give much credence to cold callers to the office, however when Dan called, I was absolutely fed up of the problems, with the miss sold electric contract, having already been to the Ombudsman for the first time, so I let off steam and ceased the moment, as they say, and related all the issues to Dan, there and then. We again asked the Ombudsman on a second case for help, but achieved nothing, but help at ECBS, was again gratefully received.
We then gave ECBS the contract to find a supplier for two other meters, can I say all my dealings with them have been professional and as a business I have received very helpful advice along the way.
John with help from Dan, has handled the dispute side with the other energy supplier and the amount of work and dedication they have demonstrated is unbelievable. Today I feel we have progressed to yet another milestone, on the way to hopefully, a victory in sorting this miss sold electric contract, all helped by staff at ECBS.
Thank you, as a business I, truly appreciate your help, professionalism and guidance, along the way, their service and dedication can only be described as excellent.
Thanks, is such
a little word
it hardly takes a minute
but there is a world of meaning
and appreciation in it.

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback, Eunice. It genuinely means a lot to us.

We’re really pleased that Dan and John have been able to support you over the past couple of years and help move things forward in what has clearly been a very frustrating situation. Disputes like this can be complex and time-consuming, so your patience and trust in allowing us to assist along the way is greatly appreciated.

It’s also great to hear that your wider experience working with the team has been positive when arranging supply for your other meters. We always aim to provide clear advice, professional support, and to stand alongside our customers when challenges arise.

Thank you again for your kind words and recognition of the work Dan and John have put in. We’ll continue to support you as things progress and hopefully bring this matter to a positive conclusion.

Wish we had used a broker sooner

Lauren has been absolutely fantastic as our energy broker. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to getting the best possible outcome for her clients. Throughout the process she was clear, transparent, and always happy to answer questions, making what can often be a complicated area feel straightforward and manageable.

Lauren took the time to understand our needs and worked hard to secure competitive energy rates, keeping us informed every step of the way. Her professionalism and efficiency made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and proactive energy broker. Her service and support have been excellent.

Terrible experience.

Terrible experience.
constant pressure calling and scare mongering to which of course was a load of rubbish.
Got us involved in the Engie blend and extend energy contract which as you can see on the Internet was a total scam.
Now stuck in a totally uncompetitive contract which has cost us thousands and possibly the business.

Reply from ECBS

We are sorry to hear about the pressure your business is facing, though we must respectfully clarify the context of this agreement. Given the nature of the "Blend and Extend" product, the contract was likely secured during the height of the global energy crisis when volatility was at its peak. This specific product was provided by a third party, Engie, and not by ECBS directly.

Our role was to provide options in a market where prices were changing by the hour, and the urgency communicated was to protect your business from further spikes. Full terms and conditions were provided for your review, and the contract was signed at your own discretion. While current market prices are naturally lower, the rates at the time were reflective of the wholesale costs then available. We take our reputation for transparency seriously. As we have not yet received any communication regarding this in our complaints inbox, please contact us at complaints@ecbs.co.uk so we can discuss this with you directly.

Excellent service from Jamie Barber at ECBS

We have dealt with a lot of companies, brokers, etc and Jamie Barber at ECBS was incredibly helpful, responsive, and attentive to what we needed without being pushy and with no pressure.

Arranged all for us and manages it for us, helping with any queries etc after securing the contracts, thank you once again for all your hard work Jamie, we are very happy with our deals saving the business thousands!

AMAZING SAVING !

AMAZING SAVING !! Jonathan is one of ECBS’s senior energy consultants and is a true professional within the commercial energy industry. He has worked diligently on our energy account over the last 12 months, and he has saved us a monumental amount of just over £55,000. I recommend Jonathan and ECBS to any business who is looking to achieve massive energy savings and is looking to future proof the sustainability of their energy budget.

We have been dealing with Lauren who was very supportive throughout the sign up process and finding best packages for us.

We have been dealing with Lauren who was so helpful and enthusiatic. We had already been in direct contact with a utility company and Lauren was able to provide a more competitive package with prices lower for the next 2-3 years.
Lauren was great and providing support and guidance explaining what was required at each stage to make it easy to follow and understand.
Thanks Lauren

Exceptional knowledge and service above and beyond

We’ve been communicating with ECBS for several months and recently made the switch. From our first contact with Lee and now Gavin as our dedicated account manager, the experience has been consistently professional and supportive.
As a housing association, it’s absolutely critical that we work with a broker who understands the complexities of managing a large portfolio of properties and supporting vulnerable customers. ECBS not only understood this but were able to navigate the challenges and tailor their approach to our needs.
Since making the switch, Gavin has been fully supportive and accessible at every step, gradually working through all outstanding issues with care and attention. Unlike many utility suppliers who simply push contracts without ensuring full understanding, ECBS has taken the time to make sure we comprehend exactly what we’re signing up to— no confusion.
Their communication is above and beyond—clear, timely, and reassuring. Clearly passionate about what they do, their enthusiasm translates into exceptional customer care.
What sets ECBS apart is their depth of knowledge. They don’t just offer a single point of contact —they bring real expertise removing the stress of dealing with multiple providers, customer service agents, chat bots, and endless email chains. Every query has been met with patience and understanding.
ECBS has been open and transparent throughout, and they’ve shown zero tolerance for poor service from utility companies—advocating for us when needed and ensuring we’re treated fairly.
To date, we’re very happy with the service and support we’ve received. So far I would say ECBS will truly understand any sector, values your time, and delivers a seamless, knowledgeable service.

Electricity contract

We dealt with Bryan from start to finish, he was very clear in explaining all the quotes he had got for us for our electric contract.
If there is anything we need he is just a phone call away and is very helpful with everything.

Thank you once again Bryan!
