Fidelity Energy Ltd

Fidelity Energy is changing the way businesses procure their energy. Using our simple and effective portal to service our client’s energy needs. We not only provide procurement services, but all the other services you would expect from one of the UK’s leading utilities and energy consultants. We champion renewable solutions to help our customers get the best value from their energy contracts, reduce their energy consumption, minimise their carbon footprint and ensure that their bills are right. Thousands of businesses of all sizes from all over the UK rely on us for their energy needs, whether that be one site or multi-sites across the UK. We remove the stress of dealing with the energy contracts by contacting your existing and new supplier, as well as managing the process from start to finish. Fidelity Energy has built up a wealth of energy negotiating and contracting experience in the national electricity and natural gas markets. We currently have £37.25M of annual energy spend under management and more importantly, have saved our clients £3.928M to date. By working with a wide range of suppliers we ensure that we have access to the best market pricing available. Prices can vary by 28% between the highest and the lowest quote for each customer. If you only check the price of one supplier, their prices will rarely be the lowest on offer. Our portal takes the pain away from you needing to trawl the market looking for the best deal. All the suppliers picked by Fidelity Energy have been carefully selected by us based on their long-term financial viability, billing accuracy, ease to do business with and responsiveness to our customers. Rather than work with dozens of unproven and untested suppliers, we only let the very best partner with us. The cost of placing your business with a financially unstable or unethical supplier can be catastrophic, so let us guide you in this vital decision.
