Helping clients control energy and utility budgets through expert guidance
ESS was set up in 1999 by a group of energy industry professionals wanting to provide a high-quality expert service to SMEs who were struggling to obtain the best value from the newly deregulated energy market. Having built up a loyal and diverse portfolio of clients, ESS was acquired by the Monarch Partnership in 2017.
