“Reece at UGP was very helpful and not pushy at all and was able to help me and explained the procedure for the takeover in clear simple terms.”

“It is 5 stars for Timothy Ryan who dealt with the transfer of the former account to us in the most professional manner. Always polite, on point, proactive and accountable. It is great to have a specific point of contact as opposed to a generic mailbox. The account transfer was not straight forward and we faced several hurdles but thanks to Timothy we got there in the end. I am truly grateful. The overall rating is 4 stars though as the admin hurdles were dealt by customer services which operates more like a generic mailbox and took longer than it should.”

“These guys are great! Sarah was the most sensible sales person I have ever spoken to. She called back when she said she would, there were no doom and gloom predictions about what would happen if I didn't move to UGP, there was no pressure just a sensible conversation discussing options. Emily has been an easy, friendly point of contact also. My experience of UGP has been totally positive. Well done.”
Robert 13 May 2022
“Best business customer service - Chloe is great! We have a large number of sites with UGP and the customer service we receive is excellent. Chloe is always happy to help and answer any queries I have - I am confident that I will always receive a helpful and detailed reply.”

“Renewing our contract with UGP, Timothy was very helpful and efficient. It's very nice to have a point of contact who you feel is looking after you, especially when dealing with the sometimes confusing utilities markets”
Anne Roger 28 April 2022
“In these difficult times in the market - we decided to renew our contract with UGP. We have always found them easy to contact and quick at dealing with any issues. We also like the fact that they are one of the smaller companies.”
Mike Moulder 16 April 2022
“Tim at UGP dealt with my price review quickly and efficiently.”
Claire B 01 April 2022
“We've been with UGP for a while - but we wanted to commend Tom Menaldino who looks after us. As a charity, as for everyone, at a time of rising prices, he's been clear and upfront in what that means and been excellent at helping us navigate a way forward. Given the terrible service we'd had with our previous supplier, UGP have been not only a welcome change, but a company that it's been good to do business with!”
