Flogas is a leading LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) supplier with more than 30 years' experience providing reliable, affordable energy solutions to domestic customers across the UK.
Flogas was founded in 1984 and has since evolved to become one of Europe's leading LPG suppliers, with a presence in Britain, Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands. Flogas is also part of FTSE 100-listed DCC Energy - a large Irish company with an annual turnover of £11 billion.

This is an excellent opportunity to move to a growing and successful business where you will have a varied role and be able to make an impact and shape the legal function. With this comes the need for a highly commercial and down to earth lawyer to assist the company with its commercial endeavours.
