Where you fit in
Finance is fully integrated into virtually every area of the business, which means we can keep a close eye on the value we’re adding to everything we do – something which is key to our future.
Corporate Finance are based centrally in our head office, but work closely with individual branch teams to ensure that everything we do fits with the strategic aims of the company. Doing this means we can pinpoint areas where more attention is needed, and set challenging performance targets that will help us achieve our ambitions for the future. We also have teams here who look after regulation, tax, treasury, strategy, procurement and IT.
Branch Finance work even more closely with their respective branches to make sure we deliver budgets and forecast in a robust way. They’re also there to offer financial advice and make sure costs are managed effectively. More detail on each of the branches is available elsewhere on the site. However, to give you an overview:
Our Customers Branch essentially look after anything to do with our customers – from meter reading through to call handling.
Our Energy Branch is responsible for our power generation plants, buying and selling power and biomass from the markets, and managing the risk all of this entails.
Our Networks Branch, meanwhile, handles a mixture of major projects and contracts, and the maintenance and development of our physical networks (such as power cables, substations and overhead lines).
