HOUSTON GETS HOT

摘要

Direct Energy Chief Executive Chris Weston needed a new home for his company, which provides electricity, natural gas and home energy services to 6 million residential and business customers across North America. The Toronto firm considered as many as 15 cities for its new headquarters, but only one ever really had a chance. "Houston was the obvious answer in the end for us," says Weston. In January his company announced that it would relocate its office to the booming Texas city and hire 200 people immediately.
