Episode 31: The future of UK water regulation: exploring Sir Jon Cunliffe's recommendations

In this episode of Talking Global Infrastructure, our chief executive Jon Phillips and Eleanor Mack, a director at strategic regulatory advisor Fingleton, explore what the biggest shake-up of UK water regulation in over 30 years means for investors, companies, and consumers. Sitting down with Simon Montague, GIIA’s director of corporate affairs, they dive into both the recommendations of Sir John Cunliffe’s Independent Water Commission, and the policy framework set out in Government’s 10-year Infrastructure Strategy. Together the two reports have the potential to attract billions in private capital, restore public confidence, and make the UK a more competitive destination for global investment. With regulatory reform, political stability, and consumer expectations all in the spotlight, Jon and Eleanor share expert insights on these big steps forward, the challenges still to come, and what this all means for the future of private investment in UK infrastructure.
