Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 129 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the approachable and exceptionally knowledgeable staff members who provide outstanding support, making the entire process of switching and managing various energy contracts completely effortless. Many people warmly mention the impressive financial savings achieved alongside the dedicated, transparent guidance offered by their assigned account managers throughout the partnership. However, some reviewers were not happy with unexpected hidden fees and overly aggressive communication tactics during the negotiation process. A small group of consumers felt pressured into unfavorable agreements, subsequently facing significantly higher monthly bills than they originally anticipated.

In June may father who was suffering and being assessed for cognitive decline was cold called and coerced into signing up to an energy contract which would start in November. He had unknowingly already signed up to a contract with another company but had forgotten about it.
He subsequently passed away in September when this company called my brother who forwarded the issue on to me. I unknowingly agreed to the contract without knowing that my dead father had already agreed a contract and when I was and still am suffering from depression after my own wife died of breast cancer at age 53 leaving me and our son. I explained this this to them and they first threatened me and are now demanding £4,701 + vat in compensation.
These people are evil.

Dean Hardy is very easy to talk to

We are happy with the service we have received from Dean Hardy. He was knowledgeable, friendly and worked to get us a good deal. Any queries we had were dealt with professionally by him.

Great Deal, Great people

We recently worked with DBSE, and I can’t speak highly enough of Tom and Aaron for their outstanding support in helping us secure strong tariffs for both our gas and electricity contracts. The process was smooth from start to finish — we achieved significant cost savings and had an easy transition between contractors with no disruption.

The real highlight, though, is the certified green energy utilisation, giving us a tangible way to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability. It’s great to be able to show our customers that we’re conscious of our energy usage and doing our bit for the planet — one decision at a time.

Tom and Aaron were friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They kept me fully updated, answered every question, and built a genuine working relationship that I look forward to continuing.

I can’t wait to work with them again on future contracts. Highly recommended!

Totally mis-sold an electric contract by a sales person, Michael Tansey. He lied and said the contract was fully fixed with no additional charges over the two year term which was what we needed and (have always had) as we are a residential caravan park. I have contacted their complaints team who will not accept this. I am still awaiting the recorded telephone calls.

Reply from Direct Global

Hello. The supplier has checked and confirmed that there was no mis-selling as the product is fixed. The ’passthrough’ elements have no effect as these are metering charges when you had your own MOP in place, and CCL and VAT are not included in any supplier contract. If you would like to discuss this further please email our complaints department at complaints@dbsne.com. Thanks

Wayne took all the stress out of our utilities renewal. Clear, no pushy sales, and totally transparent. He compared multiple suppliers, explained the options in plain English, securing a competitive rate. Saved us time and money—highly recommended for any busy SME.
