Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, Shevaun Haviland, was on the banks of the Energy Estuary immediately after government action on energy bills was unveiled.
Addressing Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce, she told of the efforts put in by her organisation, and how the stories of impact from members were “gold dust” when putting the case in Westminster.
On the announcement, which will ensure the wholesale price is capped at £211 per MWh for electricity and £75 per MWh for gas, less than half that anticipated this winter, Ms Haviland, a former civil servant who joined Prime Minister Theresa May’s team after an international career in business, said: “We have been pushing the government all the way through the summer to do something about it and I’m delighted to see they have done something about it.
