While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Written by the company

Southern Utilities Management Services Ltd (SUMS) is a UK-based business energy consultancy specialising in commercial electricity and gas procurement for businesses and property portfolios. We help companies secure competitive energy contracts while removing the complexity that often comes with dealing directly with suppliers. By reviewing your current arrangements, analysing market options and negotiating on your behalf, SUMS helps businesses reduce costs and avoid common contract pitfalls. Our clients include property management companies, commercial landlords, hospitality venues, retail businesses and multi-site organisations. From single premises to large portfolios with multiple meters, we support businesses in securing the right electricity and gas contracts for their operational needs. Unlike simple price comparison services, SUMS takes a consultancy approach. We focus on contract clarity, supplier accountability and long-term planning to ensure businesses are not locked into unsuitable agreements. Clients value having a knowledgeable partner who understands the commercial energy market and can manage the process from quotation through to contract placement. If your business would like an independent review of its commercial electricity or gas contracts, SUMS can provide clear advice and practical support

Top Service at UKPS

Having used Steve's services for many years I can attest to his professionalism and the quality of service. This said I would have no hesitation in recommending that others do likewise. The 'phone is always answered and in-person visits are arranged without a grumble. It's wonderful to be able to swerve all the hassles of dealing with utility companies to someone else!
