In Parliament this June, a Westminster Hall debate saw cross-party recognition of the vital role that the national gas network continues to play in securing Britain's energy, powering industry and enabling a cleaner energy future. We also welcomed the UK Government’s Spring Spending Review, which included a £200 million commitment to carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, supporting projects like the Acorn Project in Scotland. What a month June has been - from Ofgem’s funding announcement for the East Coast Hydrogen programme to the release of our latest Gas Winter Review, and the unveiling of the government’s new industrial and infrastructure strategies – it’s been a month full of momentum and progress.
While summer brings fun for many, it can also present real challenges – so the National Gas team has been proud to partner with Barnardo’s again to help families and children stay safe in the sun. Our team came together to donate a wide range of essentials, including: 210 bottles of sun cream, 60 buckets and spades, plus swimwear, clothing, footwear, toys, books, prams, and cots.
Women in Utilities - winner!

💪 Celebrating International Women in Engineering Day 2025 💪 We’re proud to spotlight one of our own, Kirsty M., Senior Welding Engineer at National Gas, who was recently featured in The Engineer UK magazine as one of 15 exceptional women shaping the future of engineering. Kirsty is a Subject Matter Expert in Welding and Materials, playing a vital role in setting UK and international standards, researching cutting-edge tools and processes, and ensuring our policies reflect the latest industry practices. Speaking about her craft, Kirsty shared that: "Welders are the unsung heroes across industry. One that I don’t think enough young people know about, but I urge you to look around, you won’t be far from a weld!" Her journey through apprenticeships, hands-on experience, and academic achievement (up to MSc level!) is a testament to the power of learning while earning. With over 15 years of experience, Kirsty is helping lead the charge as we prepare for the energy transition.

Reflecting on this upcoming Armed Forces Day, we hear from Tom Mills MSyI M.ISRM, our Business Information Security Officer, as he shares his experience in the Army and what this day means to him. "For me, Armed Forces Day is a chance to remember my time in service and the positive impacts it has had on my life. It definitely helped shape who I am today. Time in the service provides a great and often safe space to make mistakes so you can learn and develop yourself, to push boundaries in a way not normally available to non-military personnel, and pursue personal and professional development every year. It honed my confidence to be able to read an audience and adopt a diplomatic persona when needed, whilst remaining professional in all other instances. I’ve learnt my limits and my strengths, and I know how best to utilise my skill set and knowledge within those ranges. It's also a day to acknowledge my family who supported me through tough times and my transition from military life. I'm proud that National Gas values the important role our Armed Forces play in society and the contributions veterans bring to every walk of life." Thank you to Tom for sharing his story with us. Among our National Gas workforce there are many others like Tom, and we take pride in supporting them.
