NIPA were delighted to welcome Julia Prescot CBE to give this year’s keynote address at the Annual Dinner on Thursday 21 November 2024

Julia is Deputy Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission which provides expert, impartial advice to government on long-term infrastructure planning. The NIC’s work is built around delivering a National Infrastructure Assessment once in every Parliament, with recommendations to government on the UK’s infrastructure needs.  Julia is an expert in global investment with over 30 years’ experience in financing and delivering major projects.

Julia co-founded Meridiam, one of the world’s leading infrastructure funds, and continues to serve boardroom roles across a number of Meridiam’s UK and European assets. Julia is also the Deputy Chair of the Port of Tyne. Julia co-founded the Women Leaders in Infrastructure Group and is passionate about creating a more inclusive and diverse sector so that infrastructure can better reflect the needs of those who use it.   Julia was awarded a CBE in the King’s Birthday Honours List 2024, recognising her contribution to Public Service.

Julia spoke about the importance of bringing people back into infrastructure planning. A copy of Julia’s speech can be found here: https://nic.org.uk/speeches/julia-prescot-people-must-be-at-heart-of-infrastructure-planning/
