Our Key Goals

Our business performance has positioned WPD at the leading edge of electricity distribution in the UK. The foundations of our success have been built on excellence in five key areas – safety, reliability, customer service, business efficiency and the environment.

  • The safety of the public and our employees is paramount. We do not compromise on safety and our safety record bears this out.  
  • We are constantly improving the reliability of our distribution network so that we continue to stay ahead of the targets set by the regulator and minimise disruption to customers through unscheduled supply interruptions. 
     
  • We are committed to consistently delivering outstanding customer service and we are proud of our reputation as the leading electricity distribution company in customer service. We lead the industry in the performance of our contact centre and in having the lowest complaint levels.
     
  • Our investment in new technology has been a cornerstone of our success in improving reliability and business efficiency in all areas of the company.
  Key goals
 
  • We are recognised for delivering a highly efficient and cost effective customer service.
     
  • We take our environmental responsibilities very seriously and we are developing innovative technical solutions to reduce system losses and cut our carbon footprint.
The performance of our people is at the heart of our success and we employ staff who are well trained, highly motivated and who take personal responsibility for results. Regular communication with staff is crucial to ensure that they are aware of our key goals for success and that they understand that what they do on a daily basis has a direct influence on the success of our business.
