When we switched from SSE it was a nightmare. They changed the meter at the same time and continued sending us bills (some of which arrived and some didnt) which affected our credit rating. The new company based their bills on estimates provided by SSE but hadnt bothered to take a meter reading on the new meter. Jo Arries from ColsultivUtilities sorted out the nightmare for us. Absolutely fantastic service!
Disappointed by Conduct and Pressure Tactics During Dispute
We are a small healthcare organisation currently in a formal dispute with Consultiv Utilities over a substantial default fee for a contract that never went live. Despite no service being received, they are aggressively pursuing payment.
Our new supplier confirmed there was no conflict or objection at the time of switch, suggesting the brokered contract was not properly secured. Consultiv refused to issue a deadlock letter and began issuing legal threats instead of engaging in any form of genuine dialogue.
We are escalating the matter to the Energy Ombudsman. Other reviewers appear to have had similar experiences, we urge caution before entering into any agreement.
UPDATE: In response to Consultiv’s reply, I want to clarify that I have not accepted liability for any breach of contract, nor did I knowingly agree to a duplicate supply. The gas supply was taken over by another supplier without any objection or warning from ENGIE or Consultiv at the time.
I continue to dispute the claim and have raised this matter with the Energy Ombudsman. My concerns remain focused on the lack of communication, the disproportionate fee being pursued, and the pressure applied rather than constructive engagement.
Others considering similar services should seek clear, documented guidance before proceeding with broker agreements.

Agreed a price for our waste mangement last May. for when our contract expired in May 25 Was offered by our existing supplier that they would match the price in Feb 2025, these rogues would not let us out of the pre contract we signed. Now our previous contact has come to an end ,Consultive utilities emailed and said they couldnt find anyone to empty our bins for the price they had agreed with us .Awful company stay clear
Dave & Hannah have made swapping over so easy, our business was being charged a ridiculous rate as we were out of contract and didn't realise. Both Dave and Hannah have been invaluable and provided us with multiple options and deals, they've been honest about the process and saved us money. Great service, thank you
Rachael Simpkin and Amy Metcalf, what a team, you where both amazing, a very stressful situation for me and the re assurance, professionalism was outstanding. From the first telephone conversation, I felt you would give oustanding service for your customers and you did just that.
Thank you so much
As a new business owner i was finding it difficult dealing with utility companies directly. Pamela Hamilton took over everything for me, contacting companies and excellent communication from them to me. she kept me updated with every step and found me the best deals to suit my need. Very happy with the service and will continue to use Pamela in the future
As CEO of a small charity, I have been working with Callum at Consultiv for some time now and can thoroughly recommend him and the company. As a small charity, every penny really counts, and Callum has not only been able to get us the best deals for our utilities, he's also managed to help us claim some considerable rebates, which have helped us to continue and grow our services for older people.
Having recently started with Consultiv I can say that Aidan made the process extremely smooth and professional and I feel like he had our businesses best interest at heart.
We have been working with Consultiv Utilities for several years now. I have found them to be very helpful and dynamic. Liam Lawler has been our point of contact and he has regularly gone beyond his remit and his customer service is outstanding.
I can't thank Consultiv and particularly Pamela Hamilton enough. Our whole moving process has been made so much easier with Pamela's help. I would definitely recommend.
Lydia from Consultiv Utilities was incredibly helpful from start to finish. She explained everything clearly, found us a better deal, and ultimately saved us money. The whole process was smooth and stress-free thanks to her professionalism and support. Highly recommend working with Lydia if you want someone who actually knows what they're doing and puts your business first.
Thank you James Pearson for all your help. Your professionalism, patience and competence was a breath of fresh air. You made the whole process easy and stress free. Excellent customer service, that went above and beyond to finalize on a fantastic result saving my company money after a poor experience from our previous providers. Thank you for you non- invasive approach and a great laugh along the way. Thank you again, Steph and the Blackwells Team
Traditionally I have always been very cynical of utility consultants and brokers, but I have to admit Lewis and the wider team proved me wrong. The team are honest and pro-active and over the last few months I have built a strong working relationship with Lewis, Dimitri and others. I would highly recommend Consultiv Utilities to any other business.
Smooth experience for small charity
big thanks to mark and Ash whom have helped us get utility deals in this volatile market they have been extremely helpful and supportive
