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.

A small group of consumers felt pressured into unfavorable agreements, subsequently facing significantly higher monthly bills than they originally anticipated.

Great experience working with DBS team

The overall services received from Direct Business Solutions were excellent. They demonstrated strong expertise in their field, and the advice provided was both practical and effective. Their team-based approach ensured continuity of service, with no operational disruptions even during staff absences.
As a result, we were able to achieved an ideal outcome and are very pleased with the results. We value this collaboration and would like to continue our working relationship with DBS going forward.

DBS are great brokers

Alex Davies was great at explaining the rising costs in energy and securing a great deal for our business renewal in April 2026 so now no matter how much the prices increase, and they will, we are fixed in to 2029. Thank you for being so understanding and informative (Shout goes out too, to Panashe who was also very friendly and helpful before introducing me to Alex)

Highly recommended

Have been working with Chris for a few years now and always goes above and beyond to assist us with our energy supply, fully explains the contracts and helps us with any queries we have. Always sends us notifications upon renewal and is the person I go to when setting up any new premises for our energy needs. Would fully recommend.

Have been cold called today 5/08/25…

Have been cold called today 5/08/25 although we are TPS Reg by Direct Business Solutions.
Was told by the caller he found our number on the internet and did not screen for TPS.

Also told he held our company details on a data list which we had not given permission for against the Digital data protection act.

This is the second time in as many months, was reading the same script.

Draw your own conclusion from the above.

Realistic and Honest Approach

Contact was always prompt and courteous during the period leading up to the agreement and signing of the agreed contract. The team we spoke with quickly understood how we work as a business and were not 'pushy' as some brokers can be.

Contract with British Gas with Ross Berkeley

Ross was timely, responsive and helpful. His polite and friendly approach was appreciated. It would be a good idea to come up with the best price at the beginning rather than when there is the danger of loosing the business.
I would be happy to work with him again.

Clear information and respected our timescale

We've used the team before and know they often come up with the best deals. I really appreciated the follow up email after a phone call to put the information in writing. There is always the time pressure to make a quick decision as with all similar companies, but I really appreciated that they respected the date I gave them for our trustee meeting to come back to us for a decision.

Excellent Service

We had an excellent experience with Direct Business Solutions. The audit and review of our energy suppliers and bills were handled quickly and efficiently, with clear and concise reporting throughout. Jack and Reece were brilliant—knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Thanks to their efforts, we’ve achieved significant savings for the practice. I highly recommend them to any primary care setting looking to streamline their energy costs.
