About Omnium

Chris co-founded Omnium with Nicola in 2023, after twenty years in UK energy spent mostly working out why large estates pay more than they should. Before Omnium he handled strategic procurement and contract negotiation across industrial and commercial portfolios, with the deepest ground in hospitality, where the cost of getting energy wrong shows up fastest.

At Omnium he runs the commercial side: procurement strategy, supplier negotiation and the awkward conversations. He is also the reason the commission goes on the rate.

Nicola spent thirteen years at HSBC and then moved to NatWest as a senior business manager, so she read commercial agreements for a living long before she read energy ones. After banking came nearly a decade running operations for an estates business in Wiltshire, which is where the property side comes from.

She co-founded Omnium with Chris in 2023 and holds the contracts: terms, agreements and the paperwork that decides what happens when something goes wrong. She reads the customer information document before the main terms, because that is where the rates live and it governs where the two disagree.

When Chris is with clients, Nicola holds the relationships, so a question does not wait a week for an answer.

Sabina spent eight years as a business development manager at PE Solutions, and before that three years at ista managing client relationships in metering and billing. So she has seen how a supplier prices a contract from the inside, which is a useful thing to have on the other side of the table.

At Omnium she leads new business alongside account management, which in a firm that grows by referral turn out to be the same job. Multi-site groups where the contracts sit across several entities, renewals that need starting a year out, and the introducer relationships that bring most of our work through the door.

Her measure is that a client knows where they stand without having to ask.

Sian came to Omnium in 2023 from THIS Workspace, where she was operations manager. Running a shared workspace means knowing exactly what a building costs to keep open, and where that cost quietly grows when nobody is watching, which turns out to be the same question we ask of every client site.

She runs the data. Half-hourly meter readings, load profiles, agreed capacity, and the overnight figures that show a site drawing power at three in the morning for no reason anyone can name.

If a finding has a number attached, Sian has checked it. She is also the one who says when the data is not good enough to draw a conclusion from, which is the harder call and the more useful one.

Rakesh has seen this market from all three sides. Five years as a senior energy consultant at Assured Energy, then two at Ecotricity, where he spent nine months as TPI manager, which means managing brokers from inside a supplier. Then ElectraLink, the organisation that sits at the centre of UK energy market data, working alongside Ofgem, DESNZ, suppliers and the distribution networks.

He joined Omnium in 2026 to build new client relationships across hospitality, industrial and commercial property, and to lead our ESOS work.

Having watched how intermediaries behave from the supplier's side of the desk is useful preparation for a firm that shows its commission on the rate. His approach is the same as everyone else here: set out what applies, set out what does not, and let the client decide.

Beth ran a learning centre before she came to Omnium, latterly as Centre Director, which turns out to be good preparation for a job that is mostly about making sure people do things properly and consistently.

She keeps the operation honest: invoicing, filing, the referral cycle, and the quality management behind our ISO 9001 certification. Most of it is invisible when it is working. Contracts filed where they can be found, invoices checked before they are paid, deadlines caught before they become problems.
