A LEADING comparison site for green energy is rebranding its service for business following a surge in demand. Big Clean Switch says it is capitalising on the growing awareness of its brand name as a result of partnerships with Ikea, Sky, Tesco and others. Its commercial switching service, previously called Clean Energy UK, will go by the Big Clean Switch name from today. The Bournemouth-based business said the rebranding was an important move towards converting both homes and businesses to renewable tariffs. It said it would also take advantage of growing synergies between the domestic and commercial arms of the business.
