About This Video

In this Best.Energy Partner Profile Series interview, Mark Parker of MKL Innovation in Leeds describes how a UK electrical compliance business identified Best.Energy as a strategic adjacent service line and became a partner in late 2018. Mark co-founded MKL Innovation with his brother John Parker, and the company is built around electrical inspection and testing for major UK retailers including B&Q and Primark.
The path into Best.Energy came naturally out of MKL's compliance work. Going behind the scenes of large retail estates, Mark and John could see that the same operational footprint they were inspecting represented enormous, often-poorly-managed energy consumption. The compliance lens gave them practical insight into where the inefficiencies sat, and the question became how to translate that insight into a service line that addressed the inefficiencies rather than simply documenting them.
The Best.Energy decision was a fast one. Mark explains that as soon as they began evaluating energy management providers, Best stood out — to the point that the brand name itself ('Best Energy') reflected what they concluded the platform actually was. They became partners in December 2018 and have been operating in the partner network since.
The video also gives a glimpse of the working partnership inside MKL Innovation. It's a small but humanising moment that grounds what could otherwise be a corporate partner-profile narrative — and reinforces that many Best.Energy partners are family operators or close-team businesses, not anonymous reseller franchises.
Best.Energy is a UK-founded global energy monitoring company built around the Eniscope platform, with more than 100 partners working in over 50 countries. This watch page is part of the Partner Profile Series on the Best.Energy Canada Franchise Direct profile.
