About us
Now this is a story all about how...
Nick P flipped energy upside down, And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there, I’ll tell you how we became an award winning company - yeah! In 2009, back in the day, In the banking industry is where Nick started his days. Billing out, taxing, enforcing the rule, And playing far too many games of pool, When some energy brokers who were up to no good, Started making trouble in the neighbourhood. He got a little insight and realised it’s way off-camber, And said, “To stop this I’m starting a company called amber!” Or, if you want the story in non-90s rap format...
Nick Proctor
Nick Proctor started amber energy to provide a fair, honest and transparent approach to business energy. Nick had met far too many businesses who didn’t understand why their cost of energy had been so volatile year on year.
After realising how much money “cowboy brokers” were making in the middle, Nick decided that something needed to change and these brokers needed to be put in check.
The initial grind really paid off, with amber energy® being recognised in Future 100 in both 2011 and 2012 as well as winning the Shell LiveWIRE award for S.East & S.West Young Entrepreneur of the Year. From there the awards just kept on coming! In fact, we had to create an entire page just for our awards.

Our mission
Our mission is to achieve the highest quality and provide the best service in the energy industry. Every client we take on, we aim to create a relationship with and act as part of their team – delivering cost saving innovation wherever we can, taking on feedback and listening to customers at every opportunity.
From starting off just dealing with energy procurement, the company has grown and expanded to become a fully inclusive utility management consultancy. Not only do we offer energy management including energy bureau and engineering efficiency but we also specialise in new utility connections and water management
But we haven’t just increased our offering, we’ve tailored it. What’s the point in having lots of suits if none of them fit correctly? We wanted to give our customers the option to pick and choose the services they want and then make sure that they perfectly matched to their requirements. Taking this approach has allowed us to make greater savings, offer a better service and have happier clients.

Our journey so far
From a bold idea sparked by frustration with the status quo, amber energy has grown into a trusted partner for businesses across the UK. What began as a one-man mission to bring fairness to energy procurement has evolved into a full-service utility management consultancy. Our growth has been organic, fuelled by word-of-mouth recommendations and a relentless focus on doing right by our clients.
We’ve never been interested in being the biggest; we’re interested in being the best. That means taking the time to understand each client’s unique challenges, whether they’re a single-site SME or a multi-site enterprise. Our team has expanded to include specialists in energy management, water services, and utility connections, but our core values remain unchanged: transparency, honesty, and a genuine desire to help.
Over the years, we’ve weathered changes in the energy market, from price volatility to regulatory shifts, and we’ve used those experiences to sharpen our expertise. Our clients benefit from a partner who has seen it all and can navigate complexity with confidence. We’re proud of where we’ve come from, and even more excited about where we’re going.
How we work
At amber energy, we believe that the best results come from collaboration. That’s why our process starts with listening. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions; instead, we take a deep dive into your current energy usage, contracts, and business goals. From there, we build a tailored strategy that aligns with your budget and sustainability objectives.
Our approach is straightforward:
- Assess: We analyse your energy data, identify inefficiencies, and benchmark your usage against similar businesses.
- Advise: We present clear, jargon-free recommendations, explaining the potential savings and risks of each option.
- Act: We handle procurement, contract negotiations, and implementation, keeping you informed at every step.
- Manage: We monitor your usage, track market trends, and proactively suggest adjustments to keep you on the best possible deal.
This end-to-end support means you can focus on running your business, confident that your utilities are in safe hands. And because we’re independent, we’re not tied to any particular supplier, so our advice is always in your best interest.
What sets us apart
There are plenty of energy brokers out there, but few can match our combination of experience, integrity, and personalised service. We’re not a call centre; we’re a team of dedicated professionals who get to know you and your business.

We’re also committed to transparency in everything we do. Our fees are clear from the outset, and we’ll never hide costs in complex contracts. We believe that trust is earned through actions, not words, and we work hard to prove our value every single day.
Our clients stay with us because we deliver results. Whether it’s negotiating a better rate, identifying energy waste, or helping them transition to greener options, we’re always looking for ways to add value. And as the energy landscape evolves, we evolve with it, ensuring our clients are always ahead of the curve.
Our commitment to sustainability
We recognise that businesses have a crucial role to play in tackling climate change. That’s why sustainability is woven into everything we do. From helping clients source renewable energy to advising on energy efficiency measures, we’re dedicated to reducing environmental impact while also cutting costs.
Our own operations reflect this commitment. We strive to minimise our carbon footprint, whether through remote working policies, digital-first communications, or supporting green initiatives. We believe that doing good for the planet and doing good for business go hand in hand.
If you’re looking to make your business more sustainable, we can help. Our team stays up to date with the latest technologies and incentives, from solar panels to electric vehicle charging, and we’ll guide you through the options that make sense for your situation.
