Britain’s new consumer champion
Consumer Focus – a merger of Postwatch, Energywatch and the National Consumer Council – only came into operation on 1 October and still has a lot of staff to recruit, but it is already winning respect and making an impact. As a member of the Board, this is very pleasing to me.
Yesterday I was at the House of Commons to see the CF Chairman Larry Whitty and Chief Executive Ed Mayo give a good account of the new organisation to the Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform Select Committee. Today the “Mirror” newspaper devoted a full page to an interview with Ed.
I spent this afternoon at the Consumer Focus Head Office in London and I am really enjoying working with an enthusiastic and talented team committed to winning a better deal for the British consumer.
