Integral to its recruitment strategy was the launch of an apprenticeship scheme earlier in the year. The scheme offers talented individuals the chance to complete an NVQ, with starting salaries of more than double those of usual apprenticeship rates. Nine apprenticeships have been awarded at Opus Energy since the scheme was launched in February, and a further ten will be awarded next year.

Charlie Crossley Cooke, Managing Director, Opus Energy, comments: "This year is particularly exciting for Opus Energy as we celebrate our 10th anniversary. We are extremely pleased to mark this milestone with recognition of our outstanding performance as a business over the last year. We look forward to another year of growth and the creation of new jobs to meet our continuing expansion."

Opus Energy is working with local recruitment agencies and is also encouraging people with a customer focus to visit the company website at www.opusenergy.com for more information.
