    I wasnt aware that Martin had to be involved in anything to look into it .
    There is a link here in my opinion since I and others no doubt switched to One Select after looking at the Energy Club site.
    One Select goes bust Together Energy takes on OS members.

    The sale value actually turned out to be a lot more than that, as the sale was partly funded in part by shares in MoneySuperMarket.com .

    Those shares have subsequently risen in value, and Martin sold a tranche 3 years later; the value of the shares sold (£25m) matched the value of all the shares given 3 years previously ... and he still held a significant number.

    The latest accepted value (by Martin himself) of the sale was at least £125m and rising :money:
