Clare Spottiswoode CBE
Clare is mainly known for her work as a former Director General of Ofgas (1993-98), the regulator of the gas industry. As Director General she spearheaded the introduction of choice and competition in the provision of UK gas products and services. This led to great efficiency improvements in the industry and, at that time, to significant price reductions to consumers for their gas supplies. During her career, she has also acted as an economist at HM Treasury, lectured at London Business School, set up and managed private business interests and held a number of non-executive directorships.
