Dom Barton; Director, Bristol Heat Networks, BA Heat UK, Bristol Delivery and Operations:
“Bristol has very ambitious plans to become a “net zero” city, and this is being delivered through the Bristol City Leap partnership.
A key part of decarbonising Bristol is the construction of the city-wide district heating network. We collaborate closely with BCC colleagues to bring our vision for low-carbon heating to reality in Bristol.
Without their commitment and support to our mission it wouldn't be possible. Everything we achieve together in Bristol also better prepares the rest of the UK to deliver these “once in a lifetime” investments too.”

The Head of the Client Function, plays a pivotal role as the interface between our organisations. As before they will continue to be instrumental in removing obstacles and ensuring communication flows smoothly, which allows the partnership to move forward with confidence and clarity.”
