CHIPPENHAM-based green energy company Good Energy will create 300 new jobs over the next five years, according to an announcement made today.

The firm, which supplies 100 per cent renewable electricity to homes and businesses across the UK, will develop the new roles as part of the company’s future growth plans.

“We’ve almost doubled in size over the last two years, which is a real testament not only to the great customer service we offer but also to the wealth of local talent we have around Wiltshire,” said Francoise Woodward, director of people and culture at Good Energy.

“The new jobs we have planned span the business and include roles in customer services, business development, IT, innovation and finance.”

Good Energy employs more than 300 people at its offices in Chippenham and is currently hiring for a number of full and part-time roles, including customer care advisors, team leaders and sales executives.

The company recently became accredited as a Living Wage employer, demonstrating its commitment as a forward thinking and socially responsible organisation.
