A Brief History of First Utility

Unlike the majority of energy providers in the UK, First Utility does not have an extended history dating back at least a century. Instead, it is a very recent creation having come into existence in 2008.  Co-founders Mark Daeche, Marcus Citron, and Darren Braham created First Utility as a spin-out from First Telecom. From that point on, the company has continued to grow in the UK, providing an ever-wider range of service for domestic and business energy customers.

In 2015, there has been talk about First Telecom releasing an initial public offering.

In addition, First Telecom is looking into funders for future foreign expansion into new markets.  At all points during their existence, First Utility has marketed itself as a smarter, cheaper, and more transparent alternative to energy.
