(firmenpresse) - - CX Live’s The Experience Show UK 2026 Key Finding: As AI Scales, Trust Becomes the Competitive Advantage in the UK
- According to The Experience Show UK Intelligence Report 2026, 88% of organisations are deploying AI copilots and Agentic AI, while 68% identify maintaining trust and service quality as their biggest customer experience challenge.
MANCHESTER, UK, July 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - With the increasing embedding of AI in customer experience strategies, UK organisations are discovering that competitive advantage no longer lies in adoption alone. Instead, success will depend on how effectively businesses can combine intelligent automation with customer trust. These insights emerged from The Experience Show UK Intelligence Report 2026, unveiled at Customer Experience Live’s The Experience Show UK 2026.
The report reveals that 88% of organisations are planning to deploy AI copilots and Agentic AI, underlining how rapidly intelligent automation is becoming part of everyday customer operations. Alongside this, 71% are investing in automation and workflow orchestration, reflecting a growing focus on connecting systems and enabling faster, more consistent service delivery.
Yet as AI adoption accelerates, organisations are becoming increasingly aware that technology alone cannot guarantee better experiences. The report found that 68% of respondents see using AI without compromising trust or service quality as their biggest customer experience challenge, while 65% are grappling with increasingly complex customer journeys across digital and human touchpoints. In addition, 51% have to demonstrate tangible ROI and business impact from transformation initiatives, signalling a growing emphasis on accountability alongside innovation.
To meet these evolving demands, organisations are strengthening the technologies that enable greater visibility and orchestration across the customer lifecycle. Voice of Customer analytics (56%) and omnichannel contact center platforms (55%) are emerging as critical investments, helping businesses better understand customer behaviour, deliver more personalised engagement, and respond more effectively across every touchpoint.
"The UK market has reached an important inflection point," said Ayusha Tyagi, Managing Director, Customer Experience Live. "The organisations that will lead the next generation of CX won't necessarily be those with the most AI; rather they'll be the ones that earn the greatest customer trust whilst using AI to deliver consistent, transparent, and measurable ROI."
Over two days at The Manchester Deansgate Hotel, The Experience Show UK 2026 (7-8 July 2026) convened senior decision-makers responsible for customer experience, AI, digital transformation, contact centres, and operational excellence. Through keynotes, panel discussions, fireside chats, and interactive case studies, the event examined how organisations can move beyond AI implementation to build trusted, customer-centric experiences that deliver growth.
Industry leaders from organisations including Philip Morris International, DHL, Zurich Insurance, Holland & Barrett, Legal & General, Volvo Cars, Lloyds Banking Group, BNP Paribas Personal Finance, LNER, TrinityBridge, The Crown Estate, Krispy Kreme, and Wise shared practical lessons from their transformation journeys. Discussions explored responsible AI adoption, customer journey orchestration, operational resilience, predictive engagement, employee empowerment, and the leadership strategies required to deliver sustainable growth in an AI-led economy.
The event also celebrated the outstanding achievements of individuals and organisations that continue to raise the bar for CX through the Customer Experience Live Awards UK 2026. This year’s winners included ALTANFEETHI, Simplyhealth, Great Western Railway, Specsavers, National Grid, TrinityBridge, and DHL.
