Gateshead-based GPG has been named energy consultancy of the year at the Energy Awards 2022.

This year’s awards attracted a record number of entries, with GPG judged in a highly-competitive category, Consultancy 50+ People, which was sponsored by Shell Energy UK.

The award was collected at the gala event in London’s Mayfair, attended by 500 leading lights in the energy industry – including major business energy suppliers.

It comes after a period of significant growth for GPG, who manage assets for over 25,000 clients and also employ over 850 people worldwide. The group consolidates a wealth of energy experience and expertise that spans Europe, US and Asia and is on track to exceed 1,000 employees by the end of 2022.

Collecting the award, GPG’s, Bren Garvey, said: “What makes this award so special is the judges’ feedback, which clearly recognises the focus of the company’s future trajectory – to enable businesses to become net zero.

“They also commented that we are ‘nurturing the next generation to take a lead’. We want to inspire the next generation of leaders in this sector who we will need to continue the impetus towards a low-carbon future.“We take this incredibly seriously. We realise the impact on the planet and are aware of the important role businesses can play in reducing carbon emissions."
