British Gas Business Introduces Smarter Billing

British Gas Business Has Launched a New Look Gas Bill for Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Customers, Offering Them Greater Clarity and Transparency.

LEICESTER, England, May 18, 2010 - The bill has been created based on research, customer feedback and
competitor benchmarking and now represents a clearer, simpler and smarter
energy bill.

Stuart Hough, Head of Marketing and Sales at British Gas Business, said:
"The new look bill is the latest in a series of customer-focussed
developments we are making this year. Customers have told us they want less
clutter and industry jargon, clearer instructions and an all-round
easier-to-read design from their bill. Making changes to the old billing
system has therefore been a priority for us. British Gas Business has now
created a bill that makes businesses' lives easier".

The bills offer more obvious instructions, thereby simplifying SMEs' cash
flow management, and focuses on what customers need to know and the next
steps they need to take upon receipt of their bill.
