Institute of Water elects Pennon’s Susan Davy as president

by Karma Loveday

Susan Davy, chief executive of Pennon Group, has been elected by Institute of Water (IWater) members as the organisation’s next president.


Speaking about her appointment after the IWater’s Annual General Meeting last month, Davy said: "I am often asked why I work in the water sector, and my answer is simple: because it’s too important not to. While the billions we’re investing to upgrade the UK’s water and sewerage systems is a remarkable opportunity, the true story is about the people behind it. Generations of families — fathers, mothers, sons, daughters — have dedicated their lives to this vital work.


“With 30,000 new jobs and 4,000 apprenticeships being created, we’re welcoming the next generation of water specialists. As technology advances and climate change pressures rise, adaptability and environmental skills will be more crucial than ever. I’m proud to be part of this journey, championing the people and skills that will shape the future of water in the UK.”


IWater has over 2,500 members across the UK covering the breadth and depth of water sector roles and organisational types, including water and wastewater companies, suppliers, freelance, academia, regulators and NGOs.


The president is elected every year by members at the annual general meeting.


Pennon Group has been awarded the Fair Tax Mark once again, making it seven years in a row. The company said this makes it the longest water-based business to hold the accreditation for responsible tax conduct.
