Meet the team
Local Heroes is made up of people from all walks of life scattered all around the country, but back at our HQ in London, the team is obviously much closer.
At our offices, we have people with 20+ years of experience within British Gas, engineers, plumbers, tilers as well as designers, developers, project managers and digital experts - the modern workforce.
Whether they're full time, a contractor, part time or volunteer, everyone in the Local Heroes office is part of the team.
If you'd like to join Local Heroes, you can either become a Local Hero or check out our Careers page.
