Utilities – Localised Energy Supplier

Customer Lifecycle Solution
Owned by their City Council, this well established localised supplier provides gas and electricity in a way that is designed to support the local community and keep costs for its customers low. They offer customers 100% green electricity, and 15% green gas made entirely from local sewage waste. They provide face-to-face service for their customers, and the company has launched a Fuel Good fund to help tackle fuel poverty in the city which raises money when people switch.

Client Needs

Due to a rapidly growing customer base, the client experienced the challenge of being able to support the increased volume of customer billing exceptions and needed extra support while the in-house team was being upscaled. Aware of their experience and flexibility, they approached DDC Outsourcing Solutions (DDC OS), specifying that the short-term project needed to be quick impact and focused on cost and resource efficiency.
“DDC OS offered an experienced team and well-managed processes, which helped us put together a support plan in a very short space of time.”

"DDC OS […] hit the ground running and delivered exactly what we needed for three months, with all billing exceptions managed well within our standards. We were impressed with their knowledge and understanding of the energy industry as well as the structured account management and day-to-day support."
