British Water appoints four to newly created "ambassador" posts

British Water has appointed its first ambassadors – newly created honorary posts offered to people who have made significant contributions to the the trade body.

British Water’s board has taken on four ambassadors: Professor of Water Sciences at Cranfield University, Tom Stephenson; associate at WRc Group, Steve Wbber; director of AVW Consulting, Anthony Williams; and independent consultant, Mike Willis.

The supply chain association said the ambassadors will provide expertise and help British Water to build a “pool of influential supporters who can help the organisation achieve its aims.”

The ambassadors’ two-year commitment will include supporting the association’s membership through outreach and representation at industry conferences, events and meetings. They will also “liaise with water companies, regulators and others to strengthen supply chain engagement and the adoption of innovation and work with government officials and ministers to build strategies to support UK companies.”
