We Work With Clients BIG and small

We would definitely recommend Here's The Plan.

As a small independent charity whose ethos is to use local companies wherever possible, it is great to have the services of a local consultant. We were recommended Here’s The Plan a few years ago and they have been able to source us the best deals for our water, gas, and electricity. Over the past year we have had a major problem with one of the “big 6” overcharging us and we would really have struggled to get it resolved without the help of Christian at Here’s The Plan. We would definitely recommend Here’s The Plan.

They take anything energy related off my desk - from onboarding new sites and tying up the loose ends at outgoing sites to adjusting supply capacity, they take care of it all.

Since first becoming a client in 2006, Here's The Plan’s (then MDG Group) services have been invaluable in saving our management team significant amounts of time, whilst reducing our operating costs across 18 of our national sites.

Here's The Plan manage every aspect our electricity and gas contracts across the UK, securing us the best rates on offer as well as assessing the market place to determine the right time to buy. They take anything energy related off my desk -from onboarding new sites and tying up the loose ends at outgoing sites to adjusting supply capacity as we move towards EV charging and technical solar metering issues, they take care of it all. Their customer service is first class, and our Account Manager is easily contactable and always working in our best interests.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Here's The Plan to anyone looking to save money on their utility bills and wishing a highly professional service.

They took time to understand our business and the implementation proceeded problem free.

Enesco are one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of Giftware in Europe. As such compliance with the packaging waste regulations are an important aspect of our business.

In 2005 Enesco reviewed how it compiled information under these regulations and after assessing several options chose to work with Here’s The Plan (then European Utility Consultants) and Compliance Link. Together these providers offered a one-stop service at every stage of the Compliance system. They took time to understand our business and the implementation proceeded problem free. To date we are happy with the service we have received. We now have a more robust system that has delivered the projected cost savings. I would therefore be pleased to recommend the services of Here’s The Plan in providing compliance with the packaging waste regulations.

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.
