I was approached by Appletree to broker my electricity supply having always gone directly to suppliers in the past. It was something I didn’t enjoy doing and it was approaching the end of my contract so I took the plunge.
After giving the okay the prices and options came back to me within a couple of days which was a surprise and really efficient. We discussed them without any pressure and the knowledge Appletree demonstrated was informative and very clear. The new contract I signed was better than my renewal price, the subsequent transfer has been very smooth with Appletree just making it happen for me.
Using Appletree Value definitely made it easier for me, gave me valuable time back and I am comfortable that the relationship will be productive should I have any queries in the future.

I engaged Appletree because our portfolio of sites needed some work due to our recent expansion. The contract process was clearly explained, together with how the industry works around that process. I have seen a high standard of attention to detail from Appletree in order to ensure we are in a good position going forward. I have found Appletree easy to deal with and contact is readily available either on the phone or on a face to face basis.

I was approached by Appletree to procure our Electricity and Gas supplies. Instead of the usual telephone approach it was refreshing to have a face to face approach. The clarity of explanation was excellent and Appletree presented us with comparison quotes to enable a competitive choice to be made.
Transfer issues with the previous incumbent supplier were dealt with really well resulting in a positive financial result for us. Any questions are always answered quickly and contact is readily available at all times. Appletree are easy to deal with and give us a service we appreciate.

We were approached by Richard at Appletree for finding the right gas and electricity deals and decided to use them even though we had always done this ourselves. The contracting process was prompt, very simple, no pressure was felt by us and a full explanation was given on markets and the range of suppliers on offer. The transfer to our new supplier needed some work with our incumbent but that was dealt with efficiently by Appletree.
On an ongoing basis we get prompt and friendly service from Appletree with good communication. We have seen a benefit in time saved by using Appletree Value there is no doubt.

Richard at Appletree approached us some time ago regarding the procurement and service of electricity and gas supplies. We were some way off our contract renewal period so Appletree were happy to re visit in our timescales at our request. The tendering process was courteous and informative with a spread of big 6 and independent suppliers presented on a face to face basis for consideration.
We chose a suitable renewable supply for electricity which gave us a significant cost benefit to our business rather than renewing with our existing supplier. The transfer process was well supported with read submission and regular communication ensuring our new suppliers took over smoothly. At no time did we feel under pressure, our safety processes in the nursery were respected by Richard and we would have no hesitation in recommending Appletree to other business’s in the future.

Working with Richard Robey from Appletree Value has been a welcome breath of fresh air when compared to other brokers in the energy industry. Our past interactions with other companies have been plagued with cold calls, double speak and a very hard sell approach. Richard has been honest from the get go, listening to our needs in particularly an ethical desire to source providers from the local community and always laying things out clearly on the table for us to make the best decision for our site.
