⚡ Supercharging the UK’s EV adoption: Collaboration is the Spark! ⚡ The UK has set a bold goal: 300,000 public EV charge points by 2030! Achieving this isn’t just about tech—it’s about people, skills, and a collaborative supply chain that works together to make it happen. 🚗🔌 At Curzon Consulting, we’re already driving the conversation forward. Our report with The REA dives into the opportunities to build the skills needed to hit this target: Read it here - https://lnkd.in/dfgn8jkZ   Here’s what we’ve learned so far through our work in the sector: ✨ Street Furniture & Lighting: the untapped opportunity Companies with streetlight installation expertise already have many skills needed for EV charge points. With certifications like HERS, they’re primed to step up for EV infrastructure. 🤝 The Power of Partnerships Big firms bring scale, but medium-sized installers bring agility and cost-efficiency. By nurturing these partnerships, charge point operators can build a stronger, more resilient supply chain. Collaboration = Acceleration 🚀 By tapping into adjacent industries and fostering partnerships, we can accelerate EV infrastructure deployment—and drive toward a greener, cleaner future. 🌍⚡ 💡 What’s your take? How can we unlock even more potential in the EV supply chain?

Is Euston Holding Back High-Speed Rail? Old Oak Common promises faster journeys and a sleek £2bn superstation—but why does it feel like a stopgap? Nigel Brannan, Curzon Consulting's Infrastructure Partner, asks if it can cut 25-30 minutes off Birmingham-London travel times, do we really need to spend billions more to extend HS2 to Euston? With comparable transfer times to central London and £9bn inflation-adjusted costs looming for Euston’s upgrade, it’s worth questioning our obsession with historic termini. Could rebranding Old Oak Common as “London Central North” or “Britannia Central” reshape perceptions and deliver a modern, cost-effective solution? What’s your take: are we too attached to the past to embrace a better future?
