At Shell Energy, we believe that home energy matters. It’s more than what boils the kettle or keeps the radiators warm. It empowers us to make better decisions now about our world tomorrow.
It’s the reason why we supply 100% renewable electricity, carbon neutral home energy, smart home technology, discounts on broadband, and exclusive rewards. Going above and beyond for our customers is what we’re all about. It all started in Poland back in 2017 when the first 15 pioneer employees were recruited. We have now grown to a centre of over 400 people. Our office is located near the main train station with great public transport access. We develop every day, and we are committed to be the most customer focused energy provider in the UK. Our colleagues are given dedicated training and coaching at the beginning and throughout their career with Shell Energy with regular opportunities to move within the business. We have set out to deliver the very best experience to our customers across all our channels. But bigger challenges lie ahead. We need to keep moving forward. Why don’t you help us get there?
