Electricity and gas company E.ON Energy has launched a new campaign in hopes of challenging the norms in the utilities sector and exploring what can be done differently.

This E.ON technology has already heated an Olympic-sized swimming pool by harnessing energy in the air, combined with electricity.

Since joining E.ON a year ago, Moore has been working on the company’s purpose and what stories it wants to develop.

“In the same way as we’ve transformed our company over the last couple of years, becoming known for more than gas and electricity supplies, we’re working to transform our brand to truly represent the help we can give our customers today and in the future,” Moore added.
