 PROFILE
Centrica is not as centered on gas supply as it once was. Still the UK's largest gas supplier, Centrica provides gas to 14 million households under the British Gas and Scottish Gas brands; it also sells and installs gas heating and cooking equipment. After emerging from the 1997 British Gas split with the rights to the British Gas name, Centrica has branched into other areas: It offers financial services, electricity (4 million customers), and telecommunications services. Under the Goldfish name, the company offers consumer guides and issues credit cards. Centrica's Automobile Association subsidiary provides home and motor insurance and roadside services.
