Official Partner National Grid

National Grid is absolutely delighted to become the first ever Official partner to Special Olympics Great Britain.

National Grid is the largest utility company in the UK and we are at the very heart of the gas and electricity markets. We operate these markets, as well as providing the bulk of the critical infrastructure required to keep the lights on and the gas flowing - a job that is vital to the well-being of our customers and communities.

National Grid invests billions of pounds in the nation's infrastructure, supporting communities by providing them with safe and secure energy supplies.

Our construction and maintenance activities rely on the close involvement of the local community so we can get our work done efficiently and economically. We believe that the best way of conducting our business is in a manner which encourages and supports social growth and development. Supporting Special Olympics at local events and in local clubs around Britain, is a natural extension of our existing community involvement, demonstrating how we take our responsibilities and the impact we have on communities very seriously.

National Grid's Chief Executive, Steve Holliday, said, "We are really pleased to be supporting Special Olympics Great Britain. I believe this is a fantastic opportunity for National Grid and its employees to investment their passion, enthusiasm, and time and give something back to the communities we serve".
