We Work With Clients BIG and small

John Halliwell
From our first conversation they filled me with confidence and from then on everything was taken care of by them exactly when they said it would.

We have been a customer of Here’s The Plan (formerly MDG Group) for 13 years and always found them helpful and reliable.

When it came to building our new office at Grampian Growers, I started speaking to Here’s The Plan about our telecom's requirements. From our first conversation they filled me with confidence and from then on everything was taken care of by them exactly when they said it would.

Here’s The Plan dealt with Openreach easily and I never needed to get involved in any part of the installation of our new fibre lines and communication system. We now have a very fast modern telephone system which we are delighted with and saves use money as well.

Here’s The Plan were great to deal with and I would recommend them to anyone wanting a stress-free experience.

With 25 years' experience in utilities and compliance management, we confidently advise our clients not only of the best time to buy, but also how to reduce the number of units used by designing and helping to implement energy reduction strategies, meter profile changes and more.

Angus Hotel - Broadband Upgrades and Savings

The Challenge: Angus Hotel approached us to see if they could rationalise and save some money on their telecoms. Their lines, calls and broadband were with three different suppliers, they were paying over the odds, and they were unsure where they were contractually.

Coming to Here's The Plan was like walking out of the darkness and into the light.

Thank you for all of the hard work you and your team put into the transfer of our telephones and internet to Here’s The Plan. Having been with two of the larger suppliers, for both the broadband provision and the VOIP telephony, coming to Here’s The Plan was like walking out of the darkness and into the light. It is no longer a case of fighting to reach customer service to resolve issues, instead personal service and somebody working to make sure the transfer took place seamlessly and that everything was in place to keep the business running smoothly throughout it all.

For our team internet connectivity and phones are a vital part of our business and knowing we have a powerful force like Here’s The Plan on our side to keep us running us very reassuring.

As an added bonus, the internet connection is also more stable and a number of minor technical glitches that seemed intractable and have bugged us for the last 2 years have vanished overnight.

Any business who wants to see celebrity service in action should seek out Here’s The Plan.

UK Spring Budget 2024 : Key Climate and Energy Announcements

Wednesday’s Budget contained several significant policy announcements regarding energy which we believe will be of interest to Here’s the Plan clients & network.

It is worth pointing out that UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt failed to mention the term ‘climate change’ at all while setting out the Government’s spring budget – the first since it was confirmed that 2023 was Earth’s hottest year on record. Analysts described the budget as a “missed opportunity” for boosting low-carbon industries and accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels in the UK.
