His focus on sustainability throughout his career will help the United Utilities' Board further develop its ambitions to reduce the group's carbon footprint and achieve its net zero commitment by 2030. Having 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."
