“Working as a Corporate Partner with Plunkett UK is an organic fit for Utility Aid – together, we are able to work collaboratively to support community-owned businesses. Our values naturally align as we are equally passionate about saving the sector time and money on their utility bills, and educating and supporting them on their journey to net zero. Plunkett gives us access to the voice of community-owned businesses so that we can adapt our services around the needs of our customers.” (Emily Berry, Utility Aid)
