NGP on the Rise: New Energy Strategy Head Joins the Ranks
On a sunny day in the world of green energy, Northern Gas and Power (NGP), a proud child of the Global Procurement Group (GPG), has just handed a fresh “Contract” to Latif Faiyaz. He’s stepping into the brand‑new role of Head of Flexible Purchasing and Energy Strategy.
What Flex Buying Is All About
- Think of it as a smart ticket that lets businesses ride the highs and lows of the energy market.
- No more flat‑fee today‑and‑everyday contracts; instead, companies can tap into market swings while keeping their budgets safe from price spikes.
- It’s a dynamic, insurance‑like approach—like having a financial umbrella for your energy spend.
Latif’s Mission
Latif’s job? Manage risk for every customer’s energy portfolio—keeping budgets and forecasted consumption in line even when market volatility decides to throw a tantrum.
His responsibilities will include:
- Crafting a full‑scale energy strategy that feels right at home.
- Planning long‑term budgets that don’t trip over the unpredictable.
- Staying ahead of consumption trends so companies aren’t caught off‑guard.
Why This Move Matters
NGP is hardly a quiet mover. During 2017‑2020, it saw its revenue c‑rise by a whopping 40% each year. That’s why this exactly‑timed appointment is part of a larger recruitment sprint for 2021. GPG is stepping up, pumping in fresh talent to keep the strategy team buzzing for future demand.
The New HQ: Hits the Gateshead Water‑Side
There’s no small move on the horizon: this summer, NGP will relocate to the Riverside Riga building in Gateshead’s Quays. With a generous 30,000 square feet spread across four floors, the company will truly have room to grow. Gateshead, you’re about to get a whole new energy game plan on your doorstep.
Poetry in Corporate Speech
Latif shared his excitement: “I joined NGP because they’re hungry for greatness—no, not just in the UK but all over the globe. With my decade of experience in energy trading, I’m thrilled to build a flexible, market‑leading offering that gives our clients true competitive edge and lets them grow sustainably.”
Geoff Moses, a Director at NGP, added a finger‑smack of approval: “We’re absolutely buzzing to have Latif Faiyaz on board. His deep knowledge of the energy industry is a huge benefit to the GPG team, and he’s destined to be a key player as we expand into three continents. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg—more top talent is on the way with our recruitment drive.”
