Should you contact Selectra UK, or your supplier?
Most readers landing on this page are looking for a supplier or network operator, not Selectra. Selectra UK does not issue bills, send engineers, read meters, manage broadband router faults or process insurance claims — we publish independent guides and a switching service. If your question is about your own account, contract or outage, the relevant supplier or distribution network will resolve it far faster than we can.
As a rule of thumb: contact Selectra UK only when your question is about the selectra.co.uk website itself — for example a factual error, a partnership proposal, a press request, or a GDPR data request. For everything else, the cards below point you to the right place.

Contacting the Selectra UK team
Selectra UK runs a single inbox for all enquiries about the website: [email protected]. Mark the subject line with the topic (Editorial, Partnership, Legal or Privacy) so we can route your message to the right person. We aim to acknowledge every message within 48 hours and provide a full reply within two UK working days.
We deliberately do not operate a customer helpline: Selectra UK is an editorial and switching service, and a phone line would risk being mistaken for a supplier hotline. If you would prefer not to email, you can also reach the wider Selectra group on its social channels, which are monitored on business days from Paris and London.
Editorial & corrections
Factual mistakes, outdated prices, broken internal links, suggestions for new guides.
[email protected]Business partnerships
Supplier listings, affiliate integrations, sponsored research, white-label comparators, advertising.
[email protected]Legal & copyright

[email protected]Privacy & GDPR

[email protected]Social channels
Selectra is active on the main social networks under the handle @selectra. Social channels are useful for press requests, recruitment news and following our publications across the 18 markets where the group operates; we do not handle account or billing issues through DMs, since we are not your supplier. For anything that requires a written audit trail (complaints, GDPR requests), please use email.
Postal address & corporate information
Selectra UK is operated from the Selectra group headquarters in Paris; we do not currently maintain a public-facing UK office address for visitors. All formal correspondence — legal notices, takedown requests, regulatory letters — should be addressed in writing to the registered head office below, marked for the attention of the UK editorial team.
Selectra was founded in 2007 by Xavier Pinon and Aurian de Maupeou in the wake of the deregulation of the French retail energy market. The group has since expanded into telecoms, insurance, water and online banking, and has been ranked among Europe's fastest-growing companies by the Financial Times FT 1000. Today, Selectra operates in 18 countries and employs over 1,500 people, of which the UK editorial team is a part.
Complaints about selectra.co.uk
Selectra UK takes editorial complaints seriously. If you believe a page on selectra.co.uk is inaccurate, misleading or breaches your rights, we apply a two-stage process: an internal review within 10 working days, then escalation if you are not satisfied. We log every complaint with a reference number so you can follow it up.
The complaints process described below applies only to content on this website. Complaints about an energy or broadband supplier follow a separate path through the supplier's own complaints team and, ultimately, the Energy Ombudsman for energy or the Communications Ombudsman for telecoms.

About Selectra UK
Selectra UK publishes free guides and comparison tools to help British households cut the cost of their energy, broadband and mobile contracts. The website is part of the Selectra group, an independent comparison service founded in Paris in 2007 and now active in 18 countries. We make money through commercial partnerships with selected suppliers — the editorial team is kept separate from commercial decisions, and our rankings explain our methodology.
The UK editorial team covers the same core areas a typical reader is searching for: energy bills, tariffs and switching, the top UK suppliers, broadband and TV deals, mobile networks and the practical side of moving home. Our pages are reviewed by experienced editors based in the UK and France, and updated as Ofgem price caps, supplier tariffs and ADR rules change.

Selectra by the numbers
Selectra has grown from a two-person Paris startup in 2007 to a 1,500-strong international team. The Financial Times has ranked Selectra among the FT 1000 fastest-growing companies in Europe for two consecutive years. In 2019, the group's switching service helped 327,000 households and businesses in France change their energy, broadband or mobile contract, saving them an estimated 8.3 million euros collectively and the equivalent of 113,000 tonnes of CO₂ through greener tariff choices.

Since 2013, the service has extended beyond energy to include telecoms, home insurance and online banking, while keeping the same independent-comparison model that defined the original French site.
