Andy was previously transformation director at Bristol Water and his past roles include executive director with Pennon Group and chief operating officer for Sydney Water, with responsibility for all aspects of frontline water and waste water treatment, network operations and customer delivery.

He replaces Phil Newland, who has been appointed as group chief executive of South Staffordshire Plc.

It’s an extraordinary time to join a new organisation while social distancing and working from home is the new normal. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and helping  Cambridge Water deliver a high-quality service for customers.
