At GTC, multi-utility is about more than connecting utilities. We simplify complexity, giving you one accountable team, cost certainty, and a smoother path from design to connection. Leading the market for 30+ years, with 3+ million connections, our expertise and scale help deliver developments people want to call home.

Our vision is to enable Barrow to deliver its role in protecting our nation, expanding our national defence capability, supporting energy security and revitalising Barrow and Furness as a place where people choose to live, work and thrive.  A place that can provide prosperity for all.

We need to deliver two core outcomes:

1. Enable and sustain the Defence Nuclear Enterprise in Barrow efficiently and securely.
2. Diversify and strengthen Barrow’s economy and increase productivity.

Cumbria Combined Authority is a brand‑new organisation created in February 2026 to bring more powers, funding and decision‑making closer to home. It will work together with Cumberland Council and Westmorland & Furness Council to focus on the big, county‑wide things that really matter, like better transport, stronger job and skills opportunities, supporting businesses to grow, and investing in our towns and communities.

ECF brings together three of the most trusted brands in the UK (Homes England, L&G and Muse) to enable regeneration to progress with confidence and continue over time. Our supergroup approach means we can amplify our collective skills to create remarkable places.
