Meyrick Gough, Water Resources South East’s technical director since 2018, has been appointed as its new managing director.
Gough has 33 years of water industry experience, and led the technical work that produced the first ever regional water resources plan for the south east. In his new role, he will continue to develop the regional planning approach for the next plan in 2029, with an eye to what might also be required for the 2034 plan.
He commented: “The next two plans will be critical for the region to ensure we are able to meet the range of challenges we face whilst protecting customers and ensuring we have a sustainable abstraction regime. This is a pivotal time for the water industry, and I look forward to working more closely with government, stakeholders and regulators to support the delivery of current and future regional plans, as we publish our own set of recommendations for the future of water resources planning.”
