His primary focus is to further strengthen EC Harris’ capabilities in the utilities sector, most recently demonstrated by the consolidation of its water, power transmission and distribution offering.

Commenting on his new role, Simon Bimpson said:
“I am delighted to be joining the team at EC Harris at what is an important time for the utilities sector. With UK utility regulators setting out fundamental changes in regulation, companies are adapting their businesses to deliver complex solutions in a continually evolving market. I hope that my experience working in a variety of different markets both in the UK and internationally will enable me to bring a fresh perspective, resulting in effective solutions that meet client requirements.”
