About ESP Utilities Group

With more than 20 years’ experience in the industry, ESP Utilities Group is one of the UK’s largest and longest-established independent multi-utility companies.

We provide water and wastewater, electricity and gas services to over one million residential, industrial and commercial customers – connecting you to life’s essentials.

As leaders of the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, we’re rapidly linking EV infrastructure to the grid – speeding the way to a greener future.

We create the infrastructure that helps the UK thrive and prosper by adopting new networks from accredited providers – providing support, technical guidance and investment – while ensuring safety and quality.

As the network owner and operator, we are responsible for maintaining the network, and repairing any faults that interrupt supplies as quickly and safely as possible.

With our customers at the heart of our culture, we are committed to developing and delivering the best possible service.

We value diversity, and provide an open and transparent environment where everyone is comfortable sharing ideas. We recognise the differing needs of our people and embed policies that support a flexible and varied workforce.
