Andy Bevington, Assurance Director, Nuclear Decommissioning Authority

He joined the NDA as Assurance Director in 2019 and is accountable for providing an independent assessment of the confidence and predictability of each element of the mission to decommission the UK’s civil nuclear legacy through a wide range of projects, programmes and portfolios, many of which form part of the National Infrastructure Delivery Plan.

Andy was a member of the Executive responsible for the Exploration and Production business globally. Prior to this, he ran Centrica’s oil and gas business in the UK and before that, Head of Global Project Assurance, again for Centrica.

He has particular subject matter expertise in project management, asset management, decommissioning and business management as well as corporate assurance and governance (FTSE 100 level). He was recently Vice President of the Institute of Engineering and Technology and continues to be a Fellow. Alongside this he is also a Fellow of Institute of Directors and Association of Project Managers, recently completed MPLA and Chairs the HMG Departmental Assurance Coordinators Forum.
