The UKRN (UK Regulators Network) has announced that Rachel Fletcher, CEO of Ofwat, will succeed Jonathan Oxley when he stands down from UKRN at the end of June 2020.
The UKRN CEO role is rotated among the full members and, on their behalf, provides oversight and leadership of the work of the UKRN.
Rachel Fletcher commented:
“At this time, collaboration between our members on the issues facing the sectors they regulate is more important than ever. The current crisis is likely to have an on-going impact on consumers, companies and public policy in our sectors. In the next year we will increase our focus on identifying the needs of consumers in vulnerable circumstances, and then on investment in critical infrastructure as the economy recovers.”
UKRN members have also decided to appoint a Chair of UKRN, drawn from the full members, to enhance cross-sector collaboration and challenge to the Executive Team. The current Chair of the Chairs’ Network group is willing take this on until his term ends early in 2021.
Jonathan Oxley, Competition Director and recently acting CEO at Ofcom, took up the UKRN role in December 2018.
Jonathan Oxley commented:
“Against a challenging political and economic backdrop, and most recently the COVID-19 crisis, we have built strong foundations and collaboration on key issues for consumers.”
Jonson Cox on behalf of the Chairs of UKRN members added :
“Jonathan has provided strong leadership for the UKRN during a particularly challenging political period. On behalf of all members, I would like to extend our thanks to Jonathan for his contribution to the development of UKRN and the leadership he has provided.”
Rachel Fletcher has been CEO of Ofwat since January 2018 - before that she was Senior Partner for Consumers and Competition at Ofgem.
