Douglas’s insights

SEC Newgate publishes a twice-weekly e-newsletter, as well as other regular sector-focused news and views. Below you will find the latest articles written by me or insights relating to my sector specialist areas.

I love the way that public consultation can take you to unusual places. I once ran a consultation event in the HGV drivers’ lounge of a Channel ferry – the only time I’ve worked in international waters!
