Spark Energy Joins Forces with Pattinson Rentals

Managing the admin surrounding the set up, data flows and closing of tenant energy accounts is a complex and time consuming activity. Andrew Hartley, Head of Pattinson Rentals, stated that: "By appointing Spark Energy as preferred supplier to our full management properties, the Pattinson Rentals Property Management team can concentrate on what we do best...deliver great service to tenants and landlords".

The tie up is good news for tenants too. Spark's price guarantee, renewable energy targets and commitment to excellent customer service mean they are the natural choice for anyone renting in the UK.

Sparks Director of Sales, Chris Gauld commented: “The property letting market has been crying out for a tailored solution to tenant utilities management. As an independent energy company, we have complete control over pricing, partner support and customer service delivery. It’s an area that is largely ignored by the "big 6" and the existing resellers and brokers have little control over ongoing service delivery. We are really excited about working with Andrew and his team at Pattinsons. Like us they are committed to working hard to improve the lot of residential tenants in the UK"

Spark Energy announces largest deal yet
Press Release: May 2008

Spark Energy has been appointed by asset management company, Touchstone to supply gas and electricity to its large-scale residential property portfolio in a deal worth £7.2m. 

Touchstone is part of the Paladin Group, which includes Castle Estate Residential Lettings and operates residential and commercial property services for 12,000 properties on behalf of institutional landlords and commercial property owners across the UK. 

The UK’s newest energy company, Spark Energy provides gas and electricity to the residential lettings market and after securing one of its largest deals yet with Touchstone, will now be in a position to provide energy to 60,000 properties managed by over 300 letting agents. 

Spark relieves the administrative burden of tenant utilities for letting agents, allowing them to concentrate on running their business and maintain high levels of customer service. 

Commenting on the partnership, Jon Clark, Operations Director at Touchstone says: “We were attracted to Spark’s innovative and forward thinking approach to supplying energy and it seemed like the best fit solution for our clients and business needs.” 

Spark Energy CEO, PJ Darling says: “We are naturally delighted to be working with Touchstone and for Spark to be associated with one of the key players in the property management industry.  “This is one of our most significant business wins and represents another milestone in the growth of the company.”  

Spark Energy identified a gap in the UK energy market ignored by the “big six” energy suppliers and will continue to grow by forging further deals with high profile letting agents.

Five million pounds of new business in three months
Sold Out magazine online-April 2008

Spark Energy continues to fuel its rapid expansion into the UK energy market, winning a series of deals worth an estimated 5m during the last three months.

The UK’s newest energy provider has acquired 50 high profile partners including Harvey Scott Properties Ltd and Howards Residential Lettings, representing a total in excess of 20,000 properties under management. This news has allowed Spark Energy to double the size of its customer service team and introduce a number of IT-led process improvements, including a data feed system to streamline the admin process. The company also plans to roll out Smart Meters across its entire customer base this year, helping tenants see exactly where they are using energy.

PJ Darling, CEO commented on the progress since launching in January 2007: “We’ve had a lot of success for a company that isn’t even two years old. Not only are we already generating revenue but we are increasing revenue by 20% month on month.”

Spark Energy plans to further its presence within the lettings market by continuing to forge deals with key players and maintain its competitive edge by capitalising on areas neglected by its competitors.

Richard Hogben, Director of Harvey Scott Ltd managing a large portfolio around the north west of England said: "The opportunity to reduce administration by working with Spark Energy means we can invest in the business and in providing first class customer service. Spark has a unique offering which really addresses the needs of letting agents.”
