Utility Week publishing director Ellen Bennett said: “We have been absolutely delighted with the quality of this year’s entries. It’s been an unprecedently challenging year for utilities – and, as ever, they have risen to the challenge superbly, keeping the lights on, the taps running and the gas flowing throughout the pandemic. A huge congratulations to all our finalists – we look forward to celebrating with them on 8 February.”
