SETTING targets is an excellent motivational tool – but even for a company that knew from the start where it was heading, the first couple of years have exceeded even SK Energy’s own predictions.
Founded in 2017 to find the best possible energy and water deals for customers, the Wellingborough company has built a loyal client base among everyone from sole traders to large corporations, and has smashed its own targets in terms of growth, savings and recognition within the local business community.
Last month, the firm was shortlisted in five categories in the National Best New Business Awards and in South Kensington, Managing Consultant Reemesh Patel carried off the Businessperson of the Year and the Entrepreneur of the Year awards, while the company was runner-up in both the Service Excellent category and Service Industry Business of the Year.
This follows the 2018 triumphs at the SME Northamptonshire Business Awards, where the team were named Business of Year Less Than 50 Employees and at the Northamptonshire Business Awards 2018 where they picked up the coveted Customer Commitment Award.
Reemesh said: “To be recognised again and on a national scale is something we are very proud of. We are extremely thankful to our reliable supplier partners and valued clients.
“We’ve only been going for two years but in that time we’ve shown that by working hard for customers and having the right connections and an in-depth knowledge of the market, you can deliver real savings.”
Late last year, SK Energy smashed its target of saving customers £1m by the end of 2018 when figures showed the team had already successfully saved businesses over £1.5m off their utility spends. The customer base extends from small start-ups to large companies such as gin producer Warner’s Distillery, Jones Wholesale Business Store and legal firm Wilson Browne Solicitors.
SK Energy’s success has come through undertaking comprehensive reviews of the business operations and current buying strategies. The team of specialists are experts in the field and know where to look to find the most current tariffs, at the best rates, which are perfectly suited to a business’s needs, including offers that clients will not find anywhere else. The firm is rated as Excellent on Trustpilot and has had some impressive feedback from clients.
The success has enabled the team to grow and earlier this year a second office was opened in Birmingham to help more businesses save on their energy and water contracts.
SK Energy holds direct relationships with energy suppliers across the market and provides dedicated account management, which is unrivalled for both SME and corporate clients alike.
Jason Patel, Head of Business Development, said: “We try to ensure that our comprehensive free business energy review results in the client being placed with the right supplier for them. We act as the conduit between both parties lending itself to a valued tri-party relationship. This also includes providing the client with ongoing dedicated account management for the duration of the contract.”

“I cannot recommend Reemesh, Jason and the rest of the team at SK Energy highly enough. They’ve received accolades in customer service for good reason. I simply couldn’t afford the time to have pursued this issue particularly at the end of the year which is our busiest time of year. Fabulous service and so happy to have them on board…” Quote from Tom Allitt – Jones Wholesale Business Store
