Northern Gas & Power, the Gateshead based energy consultancy, has opened a new base in Dallas, in its first foray into the US energy market.
The new office will create 10 new jobs, adding to the company’s plans for 60 new jobs next year in its UK headquarters. Some UK staff will relocated to Dallas as part of the expansion.
Having started the year with just five employees, 2015 saw the company create 35 new jobs.
Operations Director Sean McCann said “Breaking into the US market is a natural progression for our business. We already trade in the UK, Ireland and France and the successes we’ve experienced have given us the confidence to take our consultancy expertise to Texas, the biggest energy market in the world.”
Northern Gas and Power’s UK growth projections for 2016 include the creation of 50 new sales positions and 10 back office support roles.
