British Gas owner is seeking replacement for chief executive Sam Laidlaw, who will leave company before end of year
Centrica, the owner of British Gas, is seeking a replacement for its boss Sam Laidlaw. Laidlaw, who has led British Gas since 2006 and is paid more than £2m a year, will leave before the end of the year though no date has been set.
Politicians on both sides have attacked Centrica as the average annual household energy bill has soared from £819 to £1,353 since 2009. The average British Gas dual fuel bill is £1,265.
