The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has appointed Doug Gurr, ex-Amazon UK head, as interim chair following Marcus Bokkerink's resignation. His departure, amid government pressure for more pro-growth regulation, is significant as the CMA nears its provisional findings on the UK cloud market. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds emphasizes a need for regulators to facilitate economic growth. Gurr aims to enhance business investment and competition while protecting consumers, stepping into leadership at a critical juncture for the UK economy.
The government has a clear plan for change - to boost growth for business and communities across the UK. We want to see regulators including the CMA supercharging the economy with pro-business decisions.
I am honoured to be asked to chair the CMA at this crucial time. I look forward to working with the strong leadership team to help deliver business investment and economic growth.
