Unlike brokers and comparison sites, we act independently and do not get commission or referral fees. This means the information we provide to you is unbiased and transparent. Our recommendations factor in the customer service and price of the potential suppliers, meaning you can be assured you will get good service and a competitive price.
Our years of experience in providing this service means we understand the market and suppliers, and they understand they have one opportunity put forward their best possible price – meaning you do not need to haggle to get the best price. We are also experienced in contracts, meaning we can spot problems and typically get them resolved with the supplier.
