Faversham House has announced that transformation will be the headline theme at Utility Week Live 2017,the UK’s only exhibition dedicated to gas, electricity and water, connecting Britain’s utilities to their suppliers, contractors and partners.

The record-breaking show will feature the top ten individuals and technologies transforming utilities – and is asking its audience to nominate the gamechangers that have transformed their businesses.

“Transformation and flexibility are not optional for utilities as they the challenges ahead: they are the key to survival.” Ellen Bennett, Content Director, Utility Week Live

Changing models of consumption and competition; the demands of sustainability and extreme weather; and political turmoil all require a new approach from the essential services delivering water, gas and electricity to UK homes and businesses.

Utility Week Live 2017 will bring together these businesses with their supply chains and wider stakeholders to explore the new models of thinking and operating that are demanded by this challenging environment.

The exhibition’s Connected Utilities portfolio, which consists of Utility Week, WWT, WET News and Network, will showcase the top ten individuals and technologies transforming the utilities market today.

To support this, Utility Week Live, together with its supporting media brands, are asking professionals across the UK utilities industries for their views and thoughts on transformation, as they seek to discover the game-changers, pioneers and visionaries in the utilities industry, identifying the leading 10 individuals and 10 technologies that are pushing the transformational boundaries.

“Who are the mavericks doing things in a totally new way and delivering amazing results, cutting-edge tech solutions, a game-changing new IT development, or perhaps a recent engineering breakthrough?” asked Ellen Bennett.

Utilities people across the UK can vote for whoever, and whatever, they like, with our expert journalists analysing the results to compile our top 10 list.

Their views and suggestions will then be brought to life through a series of special reports and features within the Connected Utilities portfolio and across Utility Week Live’s various digital platforms from January 2017 to April 2017, culminating in a series of exciting live events at the exhibition.

“Who, and what, is transforming our industry and why? This is going to be a fascinating process, and we are looking forward to getting stuck into the results.”  Ellen Bennett, Content Director, Utilities Portfolio, Faversham House.
