npower crowned ‘Energy Supplier of the Year’

npower has once again proven its credentials as an award-winning energy company, by picking up the ‘Energy Supplier of the Year’ at the inaugural Energy ‘Buying & Supplying Excellence’ Awards.

The award, voted for by business customers, celebrates the UK supplier that has performed outstandingly in customer service, relationship management and product offerings over the past year.

The Energy ‘Buying & Supplying Excellence’ Awards were created to recognise excellence by energy procurement specialists, and the energy brokers and utility suppliers that support them. The awards were presented at a ceremony at The Langham Hotel in London on 25th November 2010.

David Cockshott, director of industrial and commercial markets at npower, who accepted the award, said: “Being named ‘Energy Supplier of the Year’ is a fantastic achievement for npower and a testament to everyone’s hard work and dedication over the past year.

“We are very proud to have stood out from the competition as the energy supplier with the best service levels and product offerings. Our customer approach centres on collaboration and we work with businesses as an energy partner, acting as a consultant, adviser and supplier rolled into one. We work with each of our customers on a one-to-one basis, providing them with bespoke advice on how to manage the twin pressures of energy costs and carbon reduction.

“We’d like to say a big thank you to our industrial and commercial business customers who voted for us. It means so much to win an award that was voted for by the people that have first hand experience of our service and we’re looking forward to building on our successes in 2011.”

‘Energy Supplier of the Year’ was one of seven award categories at the inaugural Energy ‘Buying & Supplying Excellence’ Awards. The award was presented to npower by Stuart Lea, head of energy trading at Inenco.
