Hot topics for 2024 with FT's Gill Plimmer

In this the first of 2024 we take a quick look into the crystal ball, asking what we might expect in 2024. To help me with this my guest today is Gill Plimmer, infrastructure correspondent at the Financial Times and long-time observer of what makes this sector tick. Gill has spent several decades immersed in the business, finances and politics of infrastructure, writing about a range of issues over the years including the rise and fall of the PFI, the merits of water privatisation, outsourced services including the collapse of Carillion and Interserve, rail franchising and the challenge of meeting house-building targets.And much of this list will, I’m sure, return to the headlines over the next 12 months, alongside the inevitable rows and promises that accompany a General Election.ResourcesFinancial Times websiteGill Plimmer Linked InNational Infrastructure CommissionNational Grid energy dashboardNational Infrastructure Planning Association
