    Kevin Jackson, Act Consulting on behalf of ENTRNCE

  • ‘The MEUC events give us a great opportunity to catch up with existing customers as well as prospect for new opportunities. The quality of the presentations are impressive and always relevant to the key issues facing our industry’

    Jack Goodson, Head of Corporate Sales. Corona Energy

  • I attended the MEUC Spring Conference and Exhibition in April 2023 and was impressed by the quality of the presentations. The speakers brought us up to date with the latest news in their area of expertise in a very clear manner and the whole event was impeccably organised. I am very much looking forward to the next one.

    Arancha Craddock, Energy Supply Project Officer – Bristol City Council – City Leap Client Function

  • Many thanks and congratulations to the MEUC team in running the Spring Energy and Water Conference 2023. This well attended event was ideal for networking and I found many of the presentations of great interest and thought provoking. The MEUC continue to be a trusted source of industry information and support. Keep up the good work!

    Nigel Evans, Managing Director – West Mercia Energy

  • The MEUC emails us information, they are at the
    end of a phone call to give us advice on legislation
    and we find the whole membership scheme very
    valuable to our organisation.

    Karen McMahon, Environment Manager – Reach Plc

  • Thank you for organising such a brilliant event (the Autumn
    Roadshow). It was fantastic for me to get into the event and
    network alongside some of the other large energy users as well
    as get an update on the state of renewable generation options
    as well as understand the challenges and opportunities which
    are available across the utilities landscape.

    Keith Lockhart, Category Manager – Utilities – Heathrow Airport Ltd

  • The main benefit of being an MEUC member was the high level
    contact they have with a supplier, but over the years it’s been
    more in terms of the engagement with the policy side of things.
    We’ve been able to input to Government policy and then also
    training days and industry intelligence.

    David Mead, Associate Director – Jones Lang LaSalle

  • The world of energy procurement is a complex one, membership
    of the MEUC has proved invaluable. Knowledge and guidance
    received from both the team and fellow members has given me
    a deeper understanding of the markets and the confidence to
    discuss strategies with the rest of the business.

    Graham Harrison. Purchasing Manager – Heron Foods
