Northern Gas and Power's £30m revenue success helps create 400 jobs

Northern Gas and Power (NGP) is expanding following further customer acquisition and uptake of its energy technology.

GPG is a global group which oversees NGP, and has recently posted its revenue growth for 2018, totalling £29.6m. It is said to be heading towards £40m, having achieved compound annual growth over the last four years of 148 per cent.

Profit growth stands at 144 per cent. GPG trades as NGP in the UK.

This growth has led to the energy management specialist, headquartered on Gateshead Quays, ramping up its recruitment drive to source new people for its UK expansion.

Roughly 200 sales agent roles will be created across the North of England, while a further 200 positions are said to be created internationally across the three continents where GPG is based: Europe; Asia; America.

Having ‘outgrown’ its current premises on Gateshead Quays, it will be moving into bigger premises around spring next year to accommodate this expansion.

Paul Barrett, NGP’s operations director, said: “We are currently in the process of another huge recruitment drive, which will see more than 200 jobs created across the UK and a further 200 globally, throughout 2020.

“Our unique offer to customers is a blend of the highest levels of energy consultancy knowledge, customer care, leading technological innovation and software engineering expertise.

“This means we are constantly acquiring customers who benefit from our intelligent procurement strategies and our energy management technology.”
