NOTES TO EDITORS
Spice plc
Spice is a total utility infrastructure support services business. The Group's operations were founded in 1996 and have their origins in the electricity industry, although the range of activities has since been expanded into other niche areas. The Group is organised into two divisions to match its utility customer base; a Supply Division; and a Distribution Division. Spice's businesses have a common theme of delivering and co-ordinating infrastructure services to customers, and the technological element within the product mix has been built up significantly over the course of the last three years.
