This year, the theme of the International Water Association (IWA) World Water Congress & Exhibition is ‘Shaping the Water Future’. Although it's is a global event, the theme couldn't be more pertinent for us here in Anglian Water, as we prepare to deliver a plan worth £9bn to help tackle the dual challenges of drought and flooding brought on by climate change, prepare for an extra 700,000 more people coming to live in our region over the next 20 years, and enable environmental enhancement and nature recovery. The IWA Congress attracts thousands of leading professionals and academics, focussed on collectively building innovative solutions to global water problems, and crucially, implementing those solutions quickly. As a key part of the event, the UK Pavilion will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, case study demos. There'll also be multiple networking events to showcase UK innovation, so as well as learning from others we'll share areas where the UK is leading the field such as nature recovery, climate adaptation and creating a water resilient future. Get involved in shaping the water future of water - https://lnkd.in/eU-RiKPg alongside us and British Water, NWG (Northumbrian Water Group), Scottish Water, Severn Trent, South West Water, United Utilities, Wessex Water and Yorkshire Water. Key sponsors will also attend (including Arup, AtkinsRéalis, Capgemini, Morrison Construction, Ofwat Innovation Fund, RSE, The Scottish Government and WRc Group)"
The average person produces 91kg of poo every year…which can generate enough electricity to power a 60watt light bulb for 9 hours every day! 🚽💡 Claudia started her career as an apprentice in the labs but was inspired to work as a bio resource technician, working to turn poo into power through biogas. Which can be used to power our treatment sites as a greener alternative to fossil fuels. The team work round-the-clock to create energy out of sewage which most people consider being a waste product rather than a waste resource. We’re always searching for new and better ways to create a more sustainable future for everyone. And empowering our people to discover their true passions is at the heart of what we do.

At Anglian Water we’re working to improve the gender and ethnicity balance at all levels of our organisation. That’s why we’re proud to have been named as one of the ‘Top 10 Best Performing Private Companies’ in the FTSE Women Leaders Review, in recognition of female representation on our Board and Leadership Teams. We’ve made steady progress improving the gender balance of our senior leadership since updating our inclusion strategy in 2021. In 2023 women accounted for four of our non-executive directors (36%), and we had three women on our management board (30%). In 2024 we've made further improvements, with recent appointees including Dr Ros Rivaz as Chair of our board, alongside Emily Walch as Director of Corporate Affairs and Sian Thomas as Director of Strategic Asset Management. This is the first time private companies have been included in the FTSE Women Leaders Review, so we’re delighted to have been recognised for our progress. The FTSE Women Leaders Review is an independent business-led initiative, backed by the Government and sponsored by Lloyds Banking Group and KPMG, which is focused on increasing women’s representation on the Boards and Leadership Teams of the FTSE 350 and the UK’s 50 biggest private companies. This year it has reported steady progress in the number of women at the top of British business as it closed out year three of its five-year term.
Meet Sam 👋 who’s in his final year of his Design Engineer apprenticeship and has already been offered a full-time role working on one of our largest infrastructure projects…Strategic Pipeline Alliance! 💧 SPA will help future proof water supplies for future generations by installing hundreds of kilometres of pipeline to move water more freely around our region. This means we’ll be able to divert water from the wettest areas in the north of our region to the driest areas in the south and east, where water isn’t as easily sourced. Sam and the team are pushing boundaries by using smart engineering and cutting-edge technology to design our pipes to be energy efficient to minimise the carbon impact and protect our environment. Want to make a difference? We’re looking people to join our talent community. Check out our apprenticeship programme which has over 70 roles available - there’s something for everyone - https://lnkd.in/dRqv3kQg
