Claim: Phil Bentley's management of Centrica was well-received with multiple rollbacks in energy prices.
Evidence: Bentley's stewardship was often controversial, as the company raised residential energy prices several times during his reign; protests at company premises were not unusual. 
The controversy was fuelled by the rise in profits during Bentley's stewardship – profits from the residential energy division of British Gas increased by 24% in one year alone. Throughout his time at the company Bentley's salary (£681,000 in 2013) was the subject of frequent criticism.
