BES Group has announced its intentions to expand into Manchester and offer former employees of failed supplier Eversmart Energy new jobs.

The group, which comprises BES Utilities and BES Metering Services, is based in Fleetwood, Lancashire and will offer employment to around 30 former Eversmart employees.

The new team members will provide support to BES Metering Services.

Andy Pilley, co-owner and director of BES, said: “When we heard the sad news about Eversmart, we wanted to do all we could to help those who had lost their jobs, so we immediately made contact and quickly arranged interviews. I’m delighted we have been able to offer roles to the majority of staff.

“Thanks to our new metering division, we can now provide an end to end service to our customers without having to rely so heavily on external agents, so we can continue to provide unparalleled service.”

Following Eversmart’s collapse, Utilita Energy was appointed as the supplier of last resort for more than 29,000 customers.
