Commercial - retail energy advice

Hey folks.
I have a friend opening a small retail shop shortly and I said I'd help looking at options for energy suppliers.

When I had my retail shop, dealing with the energy suppliers was one of the worst things I had to do but like a sucker for punishment I said I'd help. Therefore I'm just hoping to get a few suggestions from those that may have found an honest supplier that offers a good deal. It's dual fuel BTW.

TIA
Mark

    Ring around the big suppliers.    Unit rates are similar to domestic - standing charge can be several £
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill
  • Octopus business tariff with no standing charges works well for me.
