Favoloso is a much-loved, family-run ice cream parlour and eatery in Eastbourne. I first met the owners, Lissa and Paul, in early 2024, and we hit it off straight away, talking about the town, their business, and the challenges they were facing. 

Unfortunately, due to the timing and an auto-renewal set up by a broker, I couldn’t help them as quickly as I would have liked. So when they got back in touch in January this year, I was thrilled to pick up where we left off and finally make a difference.

“The high street is suffering due to the rise in costs across the board,” Lissa and Paul told me. “As a family-run business, we hugely value our community and the support that our customers and fellow local businesses give each other. Cost-saving is crucial, and having someone walk us through the options on suppliers and contracts has been a real help.”

After countless calls, comparisons, and negotiations, including benchmarking their current supplier’s renewal prices against alternative options (yes, we even secured a better rate with their existing supplier!), we locked in £3,500 in energy savings. A big shoutout to Jack at Full Power for his dedication in tracking the market and helping us secure the best deal possible.

This experience is a great reminder that proactive energy management and a strategic approach can lead to both financial savings and peace of mind!

Eastbourne’s Changing Landscape

Once known mainly as a retirement destination, Eastbourne has transformed in the past decade. A growing tech sector and an influx of young families are now thriving alongside its well-established tourism industry. But despite this growth, rising costs are making it harder than ever for independent businesses to stay afloat—and the high street is feeling the pressure.

The power of a full consultancy approach

This is where the right support can make all the difference. Working with me and the expert team at Full Power, businesses can take control of their energy and water contracts—securing better rates, avoiding unnecessary costs, and staying ahead in a volatile market.

I work with businesses to review their energy contracts, cut unnecessary costs, and make sure they’re on the best possible deal. Even small savings can add up over time—and every little helps when margins are tight.
