E ON : lost 400,000 customers in Britain in first-half - CFO

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - E.ON lost nearly half a million clients in the first six months of 2019, its chief financial officer told journalists on Wednesday, adding July had shown a slight improvement.

Despite the loss of 400,000 customers in Britain, which Marc Spieker said was a special case when compared to other retail markets E.ON is active in, the group will hold on to the division and expects a turnaround in the future.
