About SUMS

Straightforward Utility Management for UK BusinessesSouthern Utilities Management Services (SUMS) exists to take the friction out of business energy, from procurement to ongoing management. We work with SMEs and property-led businesses who want clarity, control, and a single point of contact not call centres, portals, or sales patter.Our approach is simple: clear advice, quick wins where possible, and long-term decisions that stand up over time.Who We AreSUMS was founded by Steve Green, a Yorkshire-born, Sussex-based utility broker with over 30 years’ experience running and supporting businesses in hospitality and visitor attractions, both in the UK and internationally.That background matters because we understand operational pressure, tight margins, and the reality of running a business where time is finite and mistakes cost money.SUMS evolved organically from UK Payment Services as utilities became a natural extension of helping businesses regain control of essential costs.
