Job loss for family and friends.

Unfortunately Utility Alliance have went into administration, family members and good friends have lost jobs due to this which is sad to hear.

I am conscious about the fact that there will be thousands of customers left in the lurch with no account management and no one to help against additional changes in the coming months.

I would like to offer my hand in a way to help manage the existing contract/s, relieve the pressure of dealing with any issues and advise a way to protect the business from the additional changes that are fast approaching. Please don't hesitate to contact me on 0191 250 5445.

So although inevitable it was sad for the few employees with a conscience that UA went bust .

Taking upfront commissions on over inflated consumption along with Covid 19 was the straw that broke ........

Directors will be sitting pretty no doubt ?

HI, AS far as I am aware Utility Alliance have unfortunately went into administration.

I can't post links on a review but it was on local news and is easily found if you google Utility Alliance Administration with articles from papers such as the Chronicle etc.

Although i have never worked for UA i thought it worth posting here as so customers coming to review no response would at least know why.

Terrible after service

Terrible after service, we moved to a new electricity provider following conversations with our UA account manager in 2020 , however following an unexpected quarterly invoice from our new provider this month and not the monthly direct debit we asked for and finding out they had not not forwarded on the bank DD forms I find both of our account managers email address are not being answered and the telephone numbers given are now unobtainable. Finally UA's complaint Department still have not replied to my email asking for reasons why i cannot contact these ''account managers''

We were having issues with Scottish Power and Melissa helped immensely with liasing with them and keeping us up to date with the situation.
It took a good few months to resolve but we got there in the end with the help of Melissa.
Really appreciated all the help she gave and the regular updates.

Laura McGreevy

Utility Alliance and in particular Laura McGreevy has helped me enormously in resolving a problem we had with our current suppliers. Laura has been very patient and persistent in gaining for my company a substantial credit on a backdated bill, also gaining a very competitive contract with the energy provider. I am very happy with the service and professionalism i received.

Great service from START to FINISH

Great service from START to FINISH

Really polite & knowledgeable staff, and very transparent too, so I did not have to worry that I was being diddled or cheated, whereas in the past, other Companies I have dealt with have made me feel like that. I highly recommend the Utility Alliance.

Next Electricity Contract sorted in good time

I was impressed with the knowledge of my contact at Utility Alliance. He explained what was happening in the energy markets and why it was the time to set up a new Contract, even though a couple of years away. He was never pushy, always very polite, rang back at a better time if I was busy and, at the end of the day, ensured we got a good deal for our electricity bills moving forward. He was very helpful when I got a bit stuck with completing the on-line forms. I would not hesitate to recommend Utility Alliance on the basis of my own experience.

The staff are very friendly but a mistake was made back in August and not recified until I heard from British Gas that our contract had not been renewed in October! No one is accepting blame and so we have had to pay a standard tariff, which is obviously more expensive, until this was sorted in November. We are a business centre so it has cost a lot of needless expense. I have used these people before with no problems but I expect Covid will be blamed for staff shortages etc.
