The Competition Commission (CC) is one of Europe’s foremost competition agencies with a key role in ensuring effective competition between businesses in the UK. It carries out in-depth investigations into mergers, markets and the regulation of key industries. Current cases include market inquiries into statutory audit services, private health insurance, private motor insurance, cement and aggregates; merger inquiries involving cross channel ferries, airlines, metallic coatings, casinos, local radio services; and regulation of telecommunications. This is an exciting time to work at the CC. The government is planning to merge the CC with the OFT in 2014 to create the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Posts therefore offer the opportunity to help shape the future of competition policy in the UK with the creation of the CMA and to obtain relevant experience in a key area of the work of the new Authority.
