The company will recruit employees to help recruit new customers and others who specialise in various areas, such as assisting customers with prepayment metres.

Ramona Vlasiu, the company’s chief operating officer said: "We do things a little differently at E.on Next – our energy specialists are dedicated to caring for their own group of customers so they can get to know them better and do more to help them, which is all the more important in these challenging times,"
