Switchd

Switchd operates an automated energy switching service designed to keep UK households on the most cost-effective tariffs. The company’s core product continuously monitors the energy market, identifying superior deals and executing switches on behalf of its customers, including options for green energy. This approach removes the manual effort and complexity from managing energy contracts, ensuring users consistently benefit from competitive pricing without needing to actively seek new suppliers.

The company was co-founded by Llewellyn Kinch and Thomas Rogers in 2017. Their insight stemmed from the pervasive issue of consumers overpaying for household energy due to inertia or lack of time to compare and switch providers. Kinch and Rogers established Switchd to address this market inefficiency by providing a proactive, impartial solution that automatically optimizes energy costs for individuals.

Switchd serves UK homeowners and renters, along with businesses that integrate its service for their own clientele. The company’s vision is to ensure every household in the UK maintains access to the best available energy deals, accompanied by exceptional customer service. It aims to empower consumers to save money and reduce administrative burdens related to their energy supply.
