Northern Gas and Power Launches 150 New Global Positions

Northern Gas & Power is Growing Fast in Gateshead

North East England’s fastest‑growing private company is not just flipping the switch on new tech — it’s also flipping its workforce onto an upward trajectory, with 150 fresh positions coming to life in a brand‑new, over‑30,000‑sq‑ft Gateshead hub.

What the new hires bring to the table

Energy consultants, customer‑service gurus, training maestros, and tech wizards are all set to join the ranks. The first movers are slated to occupy the shiny Riga building later this year, turning the place into a “state‑of‑the‑art” playground for energy solutions.

Why this matters for NG&P

Back in early 2020, when Covid hit, the Global Procurement Group—NG&P’s parent company—went all-hands‑on deck, snapping up essential gear and tech. This allowed a whopping 90% of its worldwide staff to roll up their sleeves and work from home. The swift shift laid a solid foundation for the next big push – a significant recruitment boom that’s spilling out of the UK and across the globe.

Numbers that shout growth

Current global payroll: ≈550 employees.
Goal by year‑end: ≈700 staff.
Turnover last 4 years: £43 million+.
International sales climbed on average 248% per year over the last two years.

NG&P offers a toolbox that lets businesses of all sizes triple‑check energy consumption, slash costs, and curb carbon footprints—all in real time.

Fresh hiring tactics

Earlier this summer, the company launched a snazzy new careers website, showcasing opportunities that can even be tackled from the comfort of your couch. The site isn’t just a “where to apply” portal; it offers a sneak peek into life at NG&P, highlighting the unique culture, kid‑friendly work‑life balance, unlimited earning potential, killer incentives, generous perks, and industry‑top training programs.

From the boss’s desk

Group Finance Director Chris Baty shares the elevator pitch: “We’re on the hunt for hundreds of new hires—not just in the Northeast, but all across the UK and our global outposts in France, the US, Malta, and India. COVID came, we sprinted, we protected our people, and we’re now ready to jump into the next expansion wave.”
