Bobby Fitzpatrick, Group Purchasing Manager
“Clifford Talbot Partnership combines exemplary utility bureau services with expert energy management advice to achieve a powerful and professional service that has saved Jurys their fees several times over year on year. We can recommend them because they are of sufficient size to be respected in the industry, yet small enough to be flexible and personable.”

Landswood de Coy LLP
Edward Schwab, Partner
“Landswood de Coy LLP have been clients of Clifford Talbot for a number of years. Both our property owner clients and their tenants have benefited greatly from Clifford Talbot’s advice and management of their utility contracts with considerable savings amounting to thousands of pounds having been achieved over the years.
Their transparency, technical expertise and professionalism sets them apart from any other utility brokers we have come across.”
Daniel Watney LLP
Dylan Edwards, Associate Partner
“The various landlords for whom we act have appreciated the direct and efficient manner in which your utility bureau and procurement services have operated. We have enjoyed the benefits of these services for more than five years now and will continue to recommend these to our clients.”
Yeomans
Anthony Brooks, Finance Director & Secretary
“When it comes to renewing contracts with utility service providers, we are comfortable in the knowledge that Clifford Talbot will broker the best deal possible for Yeomans. We know this will be the case because Clifford Talbot Partnership provide their services under a completely transparent fixed fee agreement and, unlike the majority of utility service brokers, do not take payment from utility companies.”
The Parade Shopping Centre
Steve Bizley, Centre Manager
“Clifford Talbot have been invaluable in the time I have been with The Parade. Firstly their historical site knowledge and understanding of the various utility requirements was impressive. More recently some of the ongoing major works around the scheme have required some additional input from CTP which they have supported on and once again demonstrated their breadth of knowledge on the site and industry.
In addition to their knowledge, the teams prompt responses is refreshing and customer service is excellent. All these components together makes it a pleasure to work in partnership with CTP.”
Churchill Square Shopping Centre
Neil Murfin, Technical Services Manager
“Out of the consultants we use they are far the best for responses and advice. Always helpful and quick to provide any information I ask for.”
St Ermin’s Hotel, London
Therese Scully, Financial Controller
“Not only have Clifford Talbot Partnership realised excellent savings through procurement and bill validation, but they were very proactive in keeping open communications during our recent £30m refurbishment; something that could have seen large financial penalties levied by suppliers.
When this level of personal attention is combined with a service that is professional, prompt and knowledgeable, we are happy to say that we are very pleased with The Clifford Talbot Partnership, that we look forward to an ongoing relationship, and that we would recommend without hesitation.”
The Gore and Pelham Hotels, London
Jan Bargy, Financial Controller
“Having used The Clifford Talbot Partnership for a procurement-only exercise in 2008, we were very impressed with their professionalism and results and so in 2009 we joined them on a full UBS basis. Not only have we seen further procurement savings in a very volatile market, but they also actively investigate other means of energy and money saving techniques such as analysing night-time usage and heating efficiency.
We are extremely impressed with their knowledge and professional delivery, and we have built up a strong, friendly relationship with them. We have no hesitation in recommending the Clifford Talbot Partnership to anybody looking to improve their business energy efficiency and reduce costs.”
Wereldhave
Matthew James, Portfolio Manager
“We are delighted with the service from Clifford Talbot. Their bureau service has proven to be both prompt and reliable. One of the greatest benefits of working with CTP is the consistent and personable service we receive from dealing with the same small team, benefits we have not experienced with other providers in the past.”
Marlowes Shopping Centre
Vince Williams, General Manager
“Clifford Talbot have been managing our energy procurement and void management for almost 10 years and during that time, their level of service has been impeccable. Not only have we saved money based on their advice, we have saved a lot of administration time in not having to liaise with energy companies direct.
Nothing is too much trouble and requests are often turned around the same day. I couldn’t praise them enough.”
As a fully independent organisation – and unlike most utility brokers – we receive no hidden commission from suppliers, nor do we pass on hidden fees that may be inflating your energy or water costs. If, however, you would prefer us to work on a commission basis, then we will agree with you the amount of commission we will ask suppliers to include. Most of our clients are happy with a fee based service but the choice is yours.
