News has learned that Anglian Water Group, which serves over seven million customers, has hired Mr. Thurston to guide it through and beyond a critical time of negotiations with the industry regulator, Ofwat.
Mr. Thurston resigned as head of HS2, Europe’s largest infrastructure project, in July 2023, after more than six years in the position.
Mr Thurston, a former delivery executive who worked on the 2012 Olympic Games in London as well as the Crossrail project, began his career as a London Underground trainee.
