– UK, Worthing – Southern Water services Ltd (LSE:31HI), announces the appointment of Bill Tame as Chairman of the Southern Water board with effect from March1st 2017. He succeeds Robert Jennings who after 3 successful years is stepping down as Chairman.
Bill Tame said “I am delighted to be appointed as Chairman for Southern Water Services at an exciting time of change for both the company and the Water Sector.
I am grateful to my predecessor Robert Jennings whose focussed leadership means I inherit a board of exceptionally talented individuals, who are well positioned to lead the company successfully.
Southern Water’s ambition, as set out in its Five Year Business Plan, is to be recognised as the UK’s leading Water Company with customers at the very heart of its business. We have made good progress in a number of areas since the Business Plan was published in 2015 but there is much more to be done to make our ambition a reality. There are areas where our performance is not at the level our customers and stakeholders have the right to expect it to be and our challenge is to ensure that we not only meet those expectations but to exceed them. I look forward to working in partnership with our new CEO Ian McAulay to continue the improvement in company performance and to deliver a step change in strategic leadership.
The Government has laid down a challenge for the water sector in its proposed ‘Industrial Strategy’ as an area where technology and infrastructure need to be a focus. I believe we have the capability both as a Board and within the business to develop an innovative approach which will meet and exceed our customers, regulators and stakeholder’s expectations.”
