What Our Members and Supporters Say

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.
