LONDON - United Utilities Group PLC (OTC:UUGRY) (LSE:UU.) announced significant changes to its board responsibilities, set to take effect after the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in July 2025. In a shift of senior roles within the utility company, Doug Webb is slated to take over as senior independent director from Alison Goligher. Additionally, Webb will assume the position of chair of the Compliance Committee.

The company also revealed that Liam Butterworth, currently chairing the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Committee, will expand his responsibilities to include the role of non-executive director for workforce engagement.

Despite these changes, Alison Goligher will continue to serve on multiple committees, retaining her membership in the Nomination, ESG, Remuneration, and Compliance Committees.
