New research from technology solution experts at Brother suggests that over half (55%) of UK employees currently working from home are concerned about their rising energy bills. The UK Government’s £2,500 energy price guarantee puts a limit on charges suppliers can apply, but it does not mean gas and electricity bills are limitless.
