Since its inception, AT Energy UK has assisted thousands of businesses reduce the cost of their energy spend and manage their energy accounts succinctly and effectively. Over the years, the firm’s clients have become spread across a vast array of businesses; from national care home chains, student accommodation multi-site clients and Michelin- starred restaurant chains - and everything in between.

This experienced team live by the motto: ‘treat others as you wish to be treated’. As such, they provide the highest possible standard of service tailored around the exact needs of their clients, to ensure that they always receive the support they need to make the best energy choices possible. Operating in a third party driven market, AT Energy UK’s role is to encourage competition, increase transfers to new suppliers, to lower the cost of utility contracts and provide the best support to clients, bridging the wide gap between supplier and customer. Within the energy market, conditions are usually volatile, and this has been especially true in recent months and years with many driving factors such as low energy reserves here and abroad and political interest. A good indication and reference is to look at the price of petrol on the forecourt, this has increased exponentially over the last five plus years and the energy market has done the same and almost mirrors this in terms of increases. With the price of oil increasing again recently, the changes in reserves and Government levies being introduced or increasing, it is rare to see a significant decrease in the market and more needs to be done to try and reduce costs and improve service to customers. As such, AT Energy UK continues to work with clients throughout the UK’s corporate landscape and provide them with the support and service they need to efficiently and effectively manage their utilities and their costs. Throughout the past twelve months, AT Energy UK has noticed a strong trend in price increases, with its customers seeing price rises of anything between 10 and 40 percent when renewing their energy contract depending on the length of the previous contract. In response to this development, moving forward AT Energy UK will remain committed to helping as many businesses as it can to save money on their utilities and to effectively manage them. The firm’s staff levels will increase in the future to accommodate growth, but its focus on quality and client service will remain the same to ensure every client receives the support and service they deserve.
