Eon to end doorstep selling

Eon is the last of the big six to door step selling. The firm said it plans to stop cold calling this autumn as part of a raft of measures resulting from its reset review.

Other proposals include an end to two tier billing, a standing charge and single unit rate tariff structure, simplified bills and personalised energy packages, reduced call centre waiting times and help for small businesses.

Instead of unsolicited sales on the doorstep, the firm said it would instead focus on selling at venues – such as shopping centres – and events.
