The situation
A hospitality business had never reviewed its water. It was on the default retailer with no contract in place, paying whatever the standard tariff happened to be.
What we did
- Benchmarked the account against the water retail market.
- Tendered it and compared the offers on a like for like basis, with our commission included in the rates shown.
- Moved it to a new retailer. The switch took a few weeks and the business did nothing beyond signing.
The result
Around 10% off annual water costs with no change to the service. The water comes through the same pipes from the same wholesaler; only the bill changed.
What this shows
Water has been an open market for businesses in England since 2017 and in Scotland since 2008, and most businesses have never switched. It is one of the quickest wins there is.
