What Please Connect Me does

Please Connect Me is a London-based private company, founded in 2016, that operates a free utility setup service for people moving home in the United Kingdom. The service assigns each customer a dedicated human "Connections Expert" who handles the administrative work of setting up multiple home services - energy, broadband, water, council tax, TV, mobile, insurance, banking, and FX - on the customer's behalf. The company has served more than 150,000 home movers across its history and maintains a network of over 200 UK utility suppliers, which it uses to compare deals and source exclusive partner pricing not available on open comparison sites. Customers sign up through the pleaseconnectme.co.uk website, enter their move details, and are guided through selection by their assigned expert; complementary free tools (a Council Tax Checker, Bill Calculator, and Moving Checklist) support top-of-funnel organic acquisition.

The core product is the Utility Setup Service, structured as a set of service modules (Energy, Broadband, Water, Council Tax, TV, Mobile, Insurance, Banking/FX) delivered through the same expert-mediated workflow. The company describes its platform as a self-serve website plus human-assisted service, with no proprietary technology platform or AI systems referenced in available materials. Marketing is conducted primarily through content marketing and SEO, targeting long-tail queries around moving home and UK utilities.

Please Connect Me earns revenue exclusively through affiliate referral commissions paid by its supplier partners; the service is free for customers, and the company states it recommends what is best for the customer rather than what maximises its commission. The firm operates solely in the United Kingdom, employs 11-50 people, and has not disclosed any external funding rounds, ownership structure, or financial figures. Customer segments are horizontal and consumer-led, spanning UK home movers generally, expat relocators, and first-time movers.
