BritishGas is planning to recruit 250 service engineers in the North West over the next five years, as part of a national drive to take on 1,000 adult recruits and another 1,000 apprentices.
BritishGas is splitting into two companies, one covering trading and the other exploration, international and pipelines, as it tries to protect its profitable activities from the financial problems on its gas purchase contracts.
Raising Special Gas Companies in the wake of the Germans' April attack (of approximately 1,400 men) operating under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Foulkes, instructions were given to prepare for a gas attack at Loos in September 1915.
