Executive team
Stephen Kay
Managing Director
Stephen Kay has spent almost his entire career supplying water and associated customer service – firstly in South Africa and Mauritius before commencing 31 years in the English water industry with Lee Valley Water, Thames Water and Cambridge Water.
Stephen believes that water companies should be at the heart of the communities they serve which enables them to be closer and more responsive to the customers they supply. Leading one of England’s smallest water companies gives him the opportunity to spend time speaking directly to customers and encouraging his colleagues to play an active part in community initiatives.
Stephen is also a passionate supporter of Water UK and plays a full part in developing a consistent approach to technical issues across the industry as chairman of both the Water UK [technical] Standards Board and the Water Regulations Advisory Service - the organisation that helps enforce standards of plumbing fittings and installations in buildings.
In his spare time Stephen is still an active cricket coach and administrator representing Cambridgeshire on the England and Wales Cricket Board.

Tim graduated in geography from Downing College, Cambridge and went on to train as a chartered accountant with Grant Thornton. After four years in the British Virgin Islands with Deloitte, he returned to work for Scottish & Newcastle, ntl and more recently Enviros, an Environmental Consultancy which became part of Carillion plc. He joined Cambridge Water in March 2009.

Water Supply Manager
Martin has overall responsibility for the continuous supply of high quality drinking water to Cambridge Water customers. He also oversees all work relating to the development, repair and maintenance of Cambridge Water’s assets.

After graduating from Nottingham Trent University with a BSc in plant engineering, Martin worked for Dunlop Rubber before joining Cambridge Water as an assistant engineer in 1985.
Since then he has continued to work his way up through the business, becoming a production manager in 2003 and more recently senior operations manager before taking up his current role earlier this year.
Martin has a life-long love of motorsport and as a teenager enjoyed kart racing against the likes of future F1 world champions Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna.
While he no longer actively competes, Martin remains an avid spectator and is the proud owner of a much loved and cared for Lotus Exige which he takes out on the track every now and then just to keep the reflexes sharp.
Steve Morley
