which will be of great benefit to our Board discussions as we progress with
our business planning for the 2025-2030 Price Review period. Since his

and response to the challenges in the UK energy market and on the impacts of
climate change. His focus on sustainability throughout his career will help
the United Utilities' Board further develop its ambitions to reduce the

grown up in the North West, and attended the University of Manchester, Michael
has a close affinity with our region. I am delighted he has accepted the
role."
