Case study: providing a fast connection for Regent Homes
Regent Homes chose npower Business Solutions for a connection and temporary power supply while building some new houses in Nottinghamshire.
Operations Director John Statham explains why Regent Homes made the choice to use our services:, “After contacting our usual business supplier and several others, all of whom were working to a ten-week lead time, we decided to see if npower Business Solutions could help us.”
Account Manager Chris Bradbrook, from the New Connections team, handled John’s enquiry. “Chris was absolutely fantastic,” says John. “Within two weeks of contacting him, the meter was installed, supply was live and everything was sorted.”
The Local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) had already converted the existing supply at the site from an overground to an underground cable and increased supply capacity, then installed individual feeds to each of the new properties being built. npower Business Solutions then arranged the meters Regent Homes required and set up a temporary power supply.
“We offered our Fixed-Certainty supply contract, where both commodity and non-commodity costs are fixed, so Regent Homes had a guaranteed rate and knew exactly what they were paying,” explains Chris. Once the building work was complete, Chris arranged for a disconnection, awaiting transfer of supply to the new residents.
“We received a great end-to-end service from Chris and npower Business Solutions,” says John. “You don’t seem to get that kind of help from other suppliers. We found Chris a real pleasure to deal with and he delivered everything we wanted. I would certainly recommend npower Business Solutions and will be working with them again on future projects.”
