United Utilities brought together housebuilders, regulators and infrastructure firms for its 15th annual Developer Day to support regional growth.

United Utilities' 15th annual Developer Day brought together hundreds of professionals from housebuilding, construction and regulatory sectors to discuss how joint working can drive regional growth across the North West. The event included representatives from major housebuilders such as Barratt Redrow, Bellway Homes, Taylor Wimpey and Wain Homes, alongside infrastructure firms and regulator Ofwat.

Paul Stelfox, head of business and developer services at United Utilities, said the day provided 'an opportunity for honest conversations about the challenges we face, the opportunities ahead and how we can work together to achieve better outcomes for customers, communities and the environment'. Delegates discussed supporting future growth, improving customer experiences, enhancing transparency and ensuring infrastructure planning keeps pace with development needs.

United Utilities specialists shared updates on industry trends, operational changes, regulatory developments and future investment priorities. The company encouraged feedback from attendees on practical ways to strengthen collaboration between developers, utilities and public bodies.

United Utilities is currently investing more than £13.5bn in what it describes as the largest upgrade to water and wastewater infrastructure in the North West in a century. The programme aims to protect and enhance over 500km of rivers, lakes and bathing waters whilst securing drinking water supplies for millions of customers.
