Acting Executive Director of Consumer Protection at the Competition & Markets Authority
Back in July, I shared an update on the early work we’ve been doing since the new consumer protection regime came into force. Since then, we've continued our focus on supporting businesses to comply and protecting consumers. We've been listening to what businesses have told us they needed most: clarity, guidance, and support. In my article below, I share some updates on the practical steps we've taken, including new website resources, refreshed guidance on reviews and social media endorsements, plus our ongoing consultation programme.

Senior Director - Competition Enforcement (interim) at Competition and Markets Authority
At the CMA, we want to make it easy for businesses to do the right thing. In recent months we’ve shared lots of helpful guidance for businesses on our website. Today we are publishing a simple guide to help businesses understand how they can collaborate without harming competition. As the UK’s competition regulator, we can use our enforcement powers to tackle the most egregious harms. But we also want to support businesses, especially those looking to collaborate with others in ways that can potentially bring benefits to consumers and the UK economy.
