ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Spire
is delivering on the promise made last year to unite its five
natural gas utilities under one name to serve customers even
better. As of this morning, communities served by Alagasco, Laclede
Gas, Missouri Gas Energy, Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas will see
employees in Spire trucks and uniforms bringing safe, reliable
energy to their neighborhoods.
"We're becoming Spire to serve people even better. Serving
others is, and always has been, at the heart of what we do," said
Spire President and CEO Suzanne
Sitherwood. "To take that service to the next level, we had
to unite our five natural gas utilities as one team, wearing one
jersey."
Now, as the fifth-largest publicly traded natural gas utility in
the United States, Spire is able
to manage costs more efficiently – keeping prices low while
delivering safe and reliable natural gas for homes and
businesses.
In addition to the savings that come with a bigger company,
homes and businesses served by Spire will enjoy improved
technology, with the launch today of a new mobile-friendly website
that makes it easy to manage accounts on the go and get in touch
with Spire's customer service team. See the new website at
www.SpireEnergy.com.
Another part of Spire's dedication to service is the company's
increased commitment to the communities it serves, supporting
hundreds of local nonprofit organizations and initiating employee
volunteer programs. Starting this year, more than 500 Spire
employees took part in a new program called "Day for Good" where
they spent a day doing good in neighborhoods and communities across
three states.
"There's no greater energy we can offer our communities than the
3,300 dedicated employees who come to work ready to serve every
day. Now our employees can also use their energy to support the
causes that mean so much to them," Sitherwood said.
Even the Spire logo, which comprises two shapes that form a
handshake, symbolizes the company's dedication to connecting people
with the energy they need to warm their homes, cook their meals and
fuel their homes and businesses. While the Spire logo has already
started appearing on trucks and vans, Spire's fleet will be
transitioning through mid-October.
"We've proudly served the people of Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri for decades, and in most of our
locations, for more than a century," Sitherwood said. "Now, we
can't wait to show our communities all the ways we plan to serve
them – even better – as Spire."
