Hospitality Sector Rejected By Energy Suppliers

There is an increasing number of UK energy suppliers restricting their services to companies in the hospitality sector. It seems like every week I’m getting an update that X supplier won’t be offering any contracts to new customers within the hospitality industry. I get that among small takeaways, change of tenancies occur often. What I don’t get is why block the whole sector? Couldn’t this be done by credit checking? or refusing to take on sole-traders within the sector?

I feel sorry for these businesses, they’ve been smacked in the teeth from Coronavirus lockdown and now they’ll have to pay more for their energy.
