Rob worked closely with the Ebico team for 12 months, to the end of May ’17, supporting us through a challenging, yet exciting, time in the Company’s development. He was responsible for planning Ebico’s transition from a white label arrangement with SSE plc to Robin Hood Energy. This included the commissioning of a bespoke database to support the migration of customers, developing the suite of customer communications and selecting, and providing oversight for, the third-party call centre. He also liaised closely with key RHE staff to help develop the operational relationship with Ebico. This migration of customers between supply partners was a ‘first’ in the GB residential energy market, and its huge success is down, in no small measure, to Rob’s involvement.
New Energy Consulting brings several decades of experience of the UK and Ireland energy retail markets – we are equally at home in gas and electricity and in the residential and commercial sectors.
We are very familiar with all the market leading ‘in a box’ products, and the few new ones too, so we can help you with your entry into the UK supply market, having supported a number of new entrants successfully through Controlled Market Entry.
An in-depth knowledge of the systems on offer means NEC can help you both with system selection and implementation. One of our most successful offerings is our UAT (User Acceptance Testing) service for implementations and release and upgrades alike.
Critically NEC understands the operational challenges of customers and the market, whether that is in customer service, registration, meter reading, billing and credit control and, too often forgotten about, settlements. Our team of analysts have a wealth of industry experience in suppliers and third parties and they appreciate the need to be compliant, streamlined and customer focussed. We can work flexibly according to your preference – you can hand off the work and we will complete it on your behalf, or we can work with your teams on the challenge, upskilling them along the way!
We understand that running an energy supply business is very time consuming making it tricky to balance BAU with implementing change in your business and as well as keeping up with regulatory news. NEC can support you in these areas with project management skills and offering a regulatory service.
For those considering new markets, we have partners who are experts in many international markets including the US, Japan and Europe so do get in touch. The same goes for additional and complementary services.
In the UK, we operate nationally and can mobilise quickly, and offer very competitive rates. We have been on your side of the fence and we understand the challenges you face and want to help. We are confident that you will be pleased you called in NEC.
We look forward to working with you.
