Testimonials

Since we first started using Gaia Energy I have found them to be reliable, helpful and very competitive with a minimum of delay in handling any queries. We managed to save a large amount on a 3-year deal as a result of their assistance and expertise. I am happy to recommend Gaia Energy as an energy broker and they are always prepared to “go the extra distance” if required. September 2025
J Blake Head of Property and Facilities
Gaia Energy Brokers is a friendly and reliable company, they give me peace of mind that the best deals have been found with easy to understand comparison information. We have been with them for many years and intend to stay with them, knowing they will find the contracts in our best interests and prompt us at renewal time. October 2025

Revd Daniel Parkes Minister
"Coming to the end of an energy contract is stressful for a small charity. Working with Gaia Energy has removed much of that stress. Rates from suitable suppliers are laid out clearly so that a decision can be made. Then Gaia Energy handles contracts and start dates to encourage everything to transition smoothly. When there has been a glitch, Gaia has been very helpful even once the new contracts have started. I hope our relationship with Gaia long continues!" September 2025

John Rainbow Church Treasurer
We have used Gaia Energy for a number of years now for both gas and electricity. It is a relief to have someone else to do all the hard work of comparison and negotiation. They answer questions promptly and are very helpful, I would definitely recommend his company. September 2025
Shelagh Whitehouse Honorary Treasurer

Colin Carter Church Treasurer
Holdenhurst Parish has used Gaia Energy for a number of years for gas and electricity for our 3 buildings. Jim Hackford has negotiated new contracts for us, and is always more than ready to answer any queries or sort out any problems which we encounter along the way, including mis-applied CCL Levy and VAT rate. September 2025
Roger Bourne Churchwarden
As a new treasurer it was quite daunting trying to sort out the cheapest energy contracts for our Church. The relief when someone gave me Jim Hackford’s telephone number was immense! Gaia Energy sorted it all out for me taking into account aspects of usage that I hadn’t even considered. That was 6 years ago and now we wouldn’t go anywhere else. September 2025
Kath Matthews Church Treasurer
We have used Gaia Energy for several years. When our contract was up for renewal they contacted us in plenty of time and dealt with everything very efficiently. We are an Eco church and the quotes were geared towards our needs. There are lots of tasks being treasurer of a church and this is one that has become so much easier since we started using Gaia Energy. September 2025
Jane Hollins Treasurer
For over 10 years I have trusted Gaia Energy to advise on the best energy deals for our Church. I believe in their business ethos and have recently signed up for new three year contracts with recommended suppliers. September 2025
Geoff Runcorn Church Treasurer
We have used Gaia Energy for many years now and would not go anywhere else, the service is second to none. Jim Hackford is amazing, he goes above and beyond what we require and is wonderful with fast communication. Would highly recommend to others.
Lesley Timbrell Administrator, November 2024
We have used Gaia for several years and have been impressed by their knowledge and prudent advice. They saved us money on each church property where they have advised, and we have reaped a huge dividend in the light of the recent price increases, from which we are protected by a long-term contract. In addition, I used them at work, where we benefited in the same way when our existing adviser failed to advise. May 2022
Keith Wall Church Treasurer
During these extremely difficult times Gaia Energy managed to obtain an excellent quote for us, despite most of the industry being unwilling to do much to help. It is most reassuring to have them at hand to return telephone calls and emails quickly, and to feel that you have a friend at your side who will do everything he can to make sure all runs smoothly and satisfactorily. Fantastic service.
Freddie Gee St Nicholas District Treasurer, March 2022
“With many other tasks to do to keep the Chapel going, it is good to have someone working on our behalf to manage our fuel supplies.” March 2022
Keith Blacker Property SecretaryTabernacl Methodist Chapel, Llanfyllin

One would think that it would be easy for our energy suppliers to administrate the incorporation of four small churches into one church. The experience was far from straightforward. The assistance given by Gaia Energy in setting up new contracts was invaluable. Considerable time was saved and frustration avoided in the task of making these changes. March 2022
Brian Johnston Church Treasurer
We have been using Gaia Energy for the last few years at Midsomer Norton Methodist Church. When our electricity and gas contracts were coming up for renewal, Gaia Energy contacted us in plenty of time with quotations and recommendations, and responded swiftly with alternative quotes when we wanted to explore greener options. They made the process of switching suppliers much less painful and were easy to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services. 15/12/2021
Julie Slade Treasurer
We have been so pleased to be associated with Gaia Energy, the renewal process was so swift, smooth and efficient and we continue to save on heating costs. We would gladly recommend Gaia Energy. August 2021
Mr Paul Tallack Church Treasurer
We have employed Gaia Energy as energy consultants for the last 15 years and have been very satisfied. We like the principle of bulk buying by fellow churches and charities. We believe we have made savings as against going it alone. The renewal operation has always been efficient and responses to queries timely. Great scheme for churches. No hesitation in recommending Gaia. May 2021

Philip Macauley Property Steward
We have used Gaia Energy for many years to our complete satisfaction. They have certainly saved us money, making renewal of contracts simple and easy and at lower prices than we could have obtained ourselves. In fact a few years ago a few months before the renewal date we received unsolicited quotes from the, at that time, current supplier. This was even though the old contract had been negotiated by Gaia. The quotes were much higher than those subsequently obtained through Gaia. Feb 2018

Last year, Gaia Energy was recommended to us from another Methodist Church in our Circuit and proved to be a terrific help. The comparative information which Gaia Energy was able to provide, clearly and quickly, was crucial in demonstrating to our Church Trustees how we could reduce our energy costs by a noticeable amount. Then Gaia Energy was on hand to bring about the supplier transfer in a smooth, efficient manner. February 2018

I have no hesitation in recommending Gaia to those looking to save time and money in dealing with Energy suppliers.

The Gas and Electricity suppliers that were recommended have proved to be efficient and co-operative, and I no longer have to worry whether I should change anything, or look for cheaper rates.. All done for me. Thank you Gaia ! 20/05/2016

I have no hesitation in recommending Gaia Energy to would-be users. Kind regards May 2016
Tim Newstead Church Treasurer
As a church treasurer I would highly reccomend the use of Gaia Energy to take total care of your fuel suppliers. Forget about renewal times, getting cheapest quotes and the laborious task of switching supplers. Gaia take care of everything, just a reminder by email that your gas or electric contract is coming to an end, details of the cheapest new suppliers and all the forms just to be filled in and returned. So easy it's unbelievable and one has the peace of mind that the church is paying the least possible for it's fuel which is very reassuring. 13/06/2016
Joan Louis Church Treasurer
I have been very pleased to have the assistance of Jim Hackford when changing/renewing electricity supply contracts. It takes a lot of the hassle out of that job, being able to 'pick the brains' of one who knows his way around these minefields. Thank you. May 2016
John Stirling
We have benefitted from being with Gaia for our Gas supplies and look forward to moving our Electricity to them when our current contract ends.

David Rowland TreasurerHawsker Methodist Church

Just a note to thank you for your help with our electricity and gas contracts. We have previously found the process of changing to a more competitive supplier unnecessarily difficult and time consuming. Since we moved to Gaia, this has all changed! Your personal service has been superb and the 'basket' prices you have obtained for us are significantly better than we would have been able to negotiate ourselves. 24/01/2015
