Longleat House

From the outset I have been really impressed with ECA, the process has been spot on. Kit our assessor was great. I felt he understood the business well, along with our needs. I feel that Kit also came up with sensible achievable recommendations that seem to have met with approval with my site managers and these recommendations are also of a type that could be rolled out across sites, so potentially even greater savings! A good experience, thank you

Wilkin Chapman LLP

ECA Group have been totally professional in assisting our Trust through the minefield of ESOS Compliance Phase Two. They enabled us to complete our submission way ahead of the deadline. I would like to particularly mention Layla Elsom-Leak as my main point of contact for being extremely professional, light-hearted with what is a fairly dour subject and very helpful

Benenden Hospital Trust

Kit was very knowledgeable in ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management Systems and had a very good way of maintaining interest in the subject and getting buy-in from participants. He was able to understand our processes and interactions very quickly and provide relevant examples on ways to progress. A very good session and just as per our requirements.

Keymed Ltd

At our Head Office and Storage Depot, we had an ongoing dispute with a major energy supplier for over £100K for almost four years. We weren’t quite sure what we could do further, before being introduced to ECA Group. They took on the case in a most friendly, but efficient way, and always kept us fully-informed. They gave us reassurance along the way, tempered with a realistic, yet competent and professional approach. The cumulative bill of £110K was re-credited to the true amount of £9K, and any monies overpaid on account were quickly refunded. My fellow directors and I cannot express enough gratitude to Steve Silverwood and his team. We would recommend them wholeheartedly.

Parsons Construction

ECA's ESOS assessor was very efficient and friendly, he certainly helped us see where we could make savings on site

Longleat Enterprises Ltd

Silver Healthcare are a care home provider with 4 homes, we had previously disputed invoices with our energy supplier going back over 4 years. The billing involved almost 350 credits and re-credits and we were unable to resolve despite employing the services of another energy consultant. ECA Business Energy got involved and completed a full review of all the billing, identifying numerous issues including incorrect contract rates, duplicated billing, VAT/CCL overcharges, late payment charges, incorrect statement of account, incorrect meter reads and incorrect non energy charges. Working alongside us on an agreed strategy ECA Business Energy successfully reduced the outstanding amount by over 60% and helped negotiate a payment plan with the supplier.

Silver Healthcare

The administration team and consultants guided us through the whole ESOS process. I very much doubt if we would have been able to complete the assessment without their invaluable assistance

Bedford Estates - Woburn

Previously the Trust had undertaken the procurement of utilities, but due to very poor treatment from one supplier, we wanted to explore other alternatives and were directed to ECA Business Energy. From my first conversation, I felt supported, guided and informed on the options, cost and timings and have transferred our gas, electricity and water utilities to them. We have received excellent service and am particularly grateful when having issues that I can phone ECA and know that they will take this away, explain if/what action is required and do this in a timely, friendly manner and leave me feeling confident and in control of our utility costs

Sheffield Hallam Uni

I would like to congratulate ECA Business Energy for the first class service he provided. They communicated with me throughout my procurement enquiry updating me in writing and by phone at every stage of the process. The service was quick, professional and in my opinion first class. Many thanks for making the process so easy.”

ABL Accident Repair Centre

Door Deals are one of the Uk’s leading independent online timber door retailers, stocking a complete range of internal and external doors. We had an issue with our gas supplier following on from moving in to new premises. The supplier failed to respond to our communications and we were issued with bills on extortionate amounts and also a bill for a supply that was nothing to do with us. Our current broker were unable to resolve our issues and it looked likely we may have had to resort to legal action, this issue was taking up a vast amount of our time and causing huge distress to us as a business. That’s when we met ECA Business Energy, they quickly understood the situation and built an extremely strong case to put to the supplier on our behalf, using their experience of over 30 years in the industry to build a factual argument. The result of their work was a reduction in the bill of over 60% and also resolving the issue with the invoice that was nothing to do with us. We cannot thank them enough for their efforts and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Doordeals Ltd

After many ongoing billing issues with our original water provider we decided to investigate the possibility of moving supplier due to deregulation of the market. ECA presented a detailed review of all offers, arranged a meeting with a representative from the new retailer and provided advice throughout the process. Support has been ongoing through ECA’s bureau service which has been invaluable in dealing with the migration of our sites.
