Andrew Pearson
Andrew is a Large Domestic Supplier Member. Andrew have worked in British Gas for over 30 years. Naturally I have had a variety of roles in that time but for most of this century my work has been in Regulatory, Metering and Transportation Services. Prior to this my prime responsibilities were for change and project management. After a role in Metering from 2003-2008 I have resumed and increased my participation in Industry Forums over the last 15 months. My background in metering, together with regulatory responsibilities, is helpful and appropriate for the high priority issues under discussion at industry level, particularly the evolution/revolution in Industry Codes and regulation that smart metering will drive.
