#fridayfeature - 'Good things happen when people meet' says Brett Salisbury and its a very funky Coventry & Warwickshire First Friday at Coventry based Octopus Energy. Octopus Energy was born in 2016 from the Octopus Group founded in 2000 from a Bedroom and copy of the Yellow Pages. CEO Simon Rogerson has described energy as the No1 societal problem. Octopus is UK's most awarded energy supplier with 25% market share from renewable sources. Why Coventry - great city centre transport links and local Universities suppling tech-savvy talent that drives the 'outrageously good customer experience'. Todd Walker explained 'it's all about people, we invest in our people' this is clearly evident from walking the floor, the colourful culture shines everywhere. Much to debate, heat pumps, AI data centres, solar quotes and energy resilience and pricing. Be sure to follow Simon Rogerson, only a few days ago he wrote 'knowledge and IQ are no longer a predictor of success...rather behaviours, values and ability to connect with others will set you apart' - the DNA of CW First!
