About Xoserve
Find out more about our role at the heart of Great Britain's gas market.

The gas industry can seem quite complicated. Our new History of Gas video walks you through the formation of the gas industry and the major parties involved in supplying gas across the network.
The Gas Network
Our Network Overview details the gas industry’s distribution network, a nationwide network of high-pressure pipes that provide a channel for gas to be moved across the country directly to our homes and properties.

Local Security Officers
Local Security Officers (LSOs) are nominated persons within an organisation who provide a single point of contact on UK Link security matters. They are responsible for the management and authorisation of all requests to add, amend or remove access to UK Link, Gemini, Xoserve Service Portal and the Contact Management Service within their organisation.
Industry Stakeholders
Many parties are involved in supplying gas to supply points. Our new Stakeholder Infographic introduces you to each participant and provides a helpful description of the role they play in the coordinated effort to deliver gas to the industry’s supply points.
