“Why npower? Firstly energy is very exciting at the moment, it's always in the news, whether it is fuel poverty or climate change. Working for a big multi-national company, you get to work abroad and see the breadth of the business. You can work in marketing, sponsorship, economics, finance - there are plenty of opportunities.”

“There is also the commitment for more flexible ways of working – npower is quite aware of that, the work life balance”

“I started in npower 22 years ago as a shift labourer and worked my way up to where I am now. Generation & Renewables is one of the two main arms of the business. The other arm is Retail and I am now the MD for npower renewables Ltd.”

“They were the only ones who’d give me an interview because I am 56.”

“I knew people who worked here and they seemed to be getting on alright.
One thing I noticed was that no-one I knew who worked here moaned about their work, so I thought there must be something in that so I applied and it's a really relaxed, friendly atmosphere. I enjoy coming to work because we have such a good time. We work hard but we have a good time doing it as well.”

“I came here as a temp about 6 months ago and when the contract was up they asked me if I would like to stay on permanently. I wasn’t really looking for a full time job, but I had enjoyed it… the people, they were really nice and I liked the work so I thought why not.”

“A great company which values its employees, with challenging and varied work and great people to work with.”
