Delighted to host Newbury MP Lee Dillon at our Thatcham Academy. This was Lee’s second visit to the site, where we shared updates on our apprenticeship programmes—including the announcement that we’ll be taking on 500 apprentices and trainees in 2026. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the talent coming through our Academy and the work we’re doing to create meaningful career pathways across our business.

This spring, we’re excited to bring PeakSave for Business back, giving eligible British Gas Business customers half‑price electricity every Wednesday from 10am–3pm. At a time when many organisations are feeling the pressure of rising costs, PeakSave is one simple way to take a little weight off. Businesses told us how easy it was to take part last time and how those weekly savings really added up. By shifting energy use to greener, lower‑demand periods, we’re helping create a more flexible, more sustainable energy system for everyone. Find out more and get involved 👉 https://lnkd.in/ebiN37JQ
