Steve Holliday - Chief Executive, National Grid

“National Grid has pioneered an offender training and employment programme which has dramatically reduced the 70% national average reoffending rate for young people to less than 7%. The benefits are obvious. Confidence and jobs for young people and it helps meet industry's growing need for skilled and motivated labour.

At National Grid we need trained employees to make sure we continue to provide both a secure energy supply to the UK and innovative ways to tackle climate change. The Programme delivers motivated employees for us and our partner companies.”
