Local energy business providing career opportunities for young people

Wilson Energy Limited, one of UK’s leading providers of fully integrated Heating, Metering, Pre-Payment and Billing & Bureau Services for residential homes and commercial developments, is an award-winning local employer dedicated to offering opportunities to give young people a step up in helping them to develop their careers.

A prime example is their most recent young employee, Josh Tooke, 19 years old, who started working for Wilson Energy in February 2021 in the Maintenance & Support department. Josh left college in 2020 and was looking for an opening to develop his skills in business. Josh works in the support team and his role includes arranging appointments for engineers, providing top-ups for residential customers, working onsite with some of the meter reading systems and providing customer quotes for spare parts. Josh says, “The most rewarding part of my job is helping residential customers on a daily basis. I deal with a lot of vulnerable customers, particularly the elderly. These people can be very lonely and sometimes they haven’t spoken to anyone all day so I will make time to have a chat with them and make sure they are okay”.

Andy Wilkinson, CEO, Wilson Energy commented; “Wilson Energy has provided many roles for young people over the years. It Is a project which is close to my heart, I want to be able to give young people the chance to help drive them in the right direction of their career paths. It is particularly difficult for young people right now, to secure positions that will help to develop their professional skills. It is really  rewarding to see many of them who have been successful and gone on to be Directors of companies or to provide them with the confidence to start their own business. As a business, we have also been actively involved with many local schools in the area, providing work experience placements”
