The accolades recognize the work of the business’ global marketing team, who released regional websites in nine new market places in five languages over 12 months to support expansion into new geographies. As part of the project, more than 15 customer relationship management tools and five content management systems were consolidated into one platform.
“Centrica Business Solutions has been established to provide large energy users with end-to-end solutions to help them better manage and control their energy use. The successful roll out of Centrica’s distributed energy & power business has been supported by the deployment of our nine regional Centrica Business Solutions websites,” said Sam Hoyland, Commercial Operations & Marketing Director at Centrica Business Solutions. “Over 65 percent of visitors return to the sites, with some markets’ visitor numbers reflecting 15 times higher since the launch of the Centrica Business Solutions brand.”
