Even a utility company executive?

Absolutely. If there's no reason to dictate otherwise.

As long as the people of the UK allow top execs to earn top money it will go on. If and when it stops it'll be up to individuals whether or not they wish to accept jobs in senior management in these companies. Some won't. It's as simple as that. They'll take their skills elsewhere - perhaps to banking.

And of course you can show me where Martin said that to prove it isn't something you've just made up?

You mean as in proving he sold to Moneysupermarket? A company he does not actually work for? I suppose I could easily prove that, but feel it would be like proving water is wet. It's pretty obvious in that respect.

Easy. Not had any on since 2002.

If you want to send a message regarding appalling service, then please sign this e-petition. Also, please spread the word to your friends because it takes 100 k to get it discussed in parliament.

Well if we could force one out of the market that would be one less CEO to pay a huge wage to, plus the board of directors etc etc. That would save a few million per year!

Cutting their costs would definitely be a start in my opinion. Almost everyday there are adverts in the national newspapers by energy companies, all with silly slogans and other one liners trying to get you to switch to them, I wonder what the frightening cost of these adverts are? Have a look at the vans the energy companies use, all late registrations and never cheap models. I know of engineers that go abroad for fortnight holidays with their expensive equipped vans just sitting outside their houses unused while they are away. Again dead money that ends up on our bills. These are just two examples but no doubt there are many many more areas where money is spent like there is no tomorrow. There is no belt tightening by the energy companies, but why would they need to while us gullible public and spineless government just let them continue to ride rough shod over us?

People bang on about small companys, but are you aware they don't all have their own licenses and instead resell the big six's energy
