Hi Bluebirdman of Alcathays, First of all - your assumption is wrong- I won’t disappear after just one post. Secondly, my aim was not just to get the user name noticed. The aim was to let the British Gas (BGB) bosses know what their executives are doing. I am happy to let you know that it has already been noticed by BGB and on a different blog BGB have commented on my post. The summary of their comment is - 'they recognise the important role that Brokers (intermediaries) play within the Business Energy market ……………………… ……………… ……… ……… & they will be in touch with us directly to discuss the issue.'
I am also willing to welcome you to visit our website (towerutility.co.uk) if you need to compare gas and electricity prices. Thanks

Why would I (were I a business energy consumer, which I'm not) need the services of an energy broker to compare prices?
Let's face facts, you sculpt your margin into the price consumers pay. Or rather, you get the pricing departments of energy companies to do it for you.

Energy companies would always rather customers came direct. Surely you can see that? You aren't their customer, they really don't care about how you feel. If they want to offer customers terms of credit directly that they wouldn't offer if the contract involved a third party intermediary that's entirely their choice. Indeed, it makes business sense to do what they do. That's why they're the biggest, and Tower Utility are....who?

Would you provide a link to the blog BGB have supposedly commented on? Which office do you tend to deal with, Oxford or Leicester?

Finally, in future you'd probably get a better response if you start your own thread rather than hijacking something with your cause that is completely irrelevant to the original poster.

I am enjoying the conversation between Tower & Blubirdman. carry on. BTW it seems- Blubard is defending British Gas for some reason.

If the choice is between an business supplier and a broker, I know which side I'll be on every time.
