The story

A local club, a local broker, one shared city.

Running a rugby club is expensive. Floodlights, clubhouse, kitchens, hot water for the changing rooms, it all adds up, and energy is one of the biggest lines on the bill. Plymouth Albion needed those costs under control so more of the money could go where it matters: the rugby and the people who turn up every week.

So we did what we do for every business in the South West. We took the club's bills, put them to the whole market, and brought back a clear, plain English comparison. No jargon, no pressure, just the real numbers and an honest recommendation. James Greenacre, Commercial Director at the club, wanted a partner who understood the local game and would still pick up the phone after the deal was done. That's exactly what we are.

The relationship runs deeper than a switch. We're a proud sponsor of Plymouth Albion, backing the club and players like Ben Saunders because we believe in what they bring to the city. When a local broker and a local club pull in the same direction, the whole community wins.

What we did

The Smarta job, start to finish.

Read the bills. We pulled the club's energy usage, current rates and contract end dates so nothing got quoted on guesswork.

Shopped the whole market. We put the supply to suppliers across the market, British Gas, EDF, E.ON Next, Scottish Power, SSE and the business specialists, and compared like for like.

Recommended in plain English. No sales pitch, just the sharpest deal for how the club actually uses energy across the season.

Diarised the renewal. We track the contract end date and re-bid before it expires, so the club never sleepwalks onto an out-of-contract rate.

Who they are

Plymouth Albion RFC, the city's rugby heart.

Founded in 1920 from the merger of two clubs that both trace back to 1876, Plymouth Albion is one of the South West's proudest rugby names. They play their home games at The Brickfields, in the cherry, white and green that generations of Plymouth supporters have stood behind.

We're proud to sponsor the club and to help keep their running costs down, so more goes into the rugby. Backing a local institution like Albion is exactly why we do what we do.
