AN energy firm is looking to swell its ranks by taking on 10 new staff - as part of a wider expansion plan

Minerva House based Ideal Energy and Fuels eventually wants to eventually double its 20-strong workforce.

But as part of a first foray they are looking to take on an initial complement of 10 lead generators and energy consultants.

Amy Carr, operations head, said: “We are delighted to continue putting into practice our exciting growth plans, by offering new positions.

“Our dedication to business growth has been fuelled by our drive to offer low-cost energy supplies to our loyal customers.

“This is an exciting time for us, and we look forward to welcoming further prospective candidates.”

Bosses say while a background in the energy market is clearly an advantage they will consider training up would-be recruits with potential.

The outfit is on the lookout for anyone with at least 12 months of business to business sales or telesales skills.

If their plans progress as intended then the new intake will be ready to start work at the end of the month.
