North East utilities startup set to nearly double workforce over next 12 months

A utilities startup in the North East is set to create 40 new jobs as part of its continued expansion in 2021.

Total BGS Energy has continued to grow and create jobs over the past 12 months despite the disruption of the pandemic.

Founded in 2019 by Graham Davison, Total BGS Energy specialises in the procurement of gas, water, card services and siteworks.

Based at the North East Business and Innovation Centre (BIC), Total BGS Energy has relocated three times in just under two years in order to house its growing team, and plans to create 40 new roles throughout 2021.

Graham Davison, Total BGS Energy’s founder, commented: “Total BGS specialises in taking the stress out of utility procurement, be that electric, gas, water, card services or siteworks, and managing the entire end-to-end process for the customer, and our clients seem to have really bought into that ethos.

“Over the next 12 months, we aim to create another 40 jobs in management, energy services and administration and, while the majority of those roles will be for remote positions, we will also be expanding our team at the BIC as we continue investing in the region and our main head office.”

Donna Surtees, centre manager at the BIC, added: “The BIC was set up to provide an environment that helps entrepreneurs realise their ambitions, be it from a temporary workspace in our co-working facility or relocating to a larger serviced workspace.

“To see Total BGS and Graham go from a one-man-band to a business creating scores of jobs and continuing to invest in the region, is a perfect example of this in action and we are proud to have been able to fulfil their needs and support them on their journey.”
