Podcasts about Anglian Water

In today's podcast we focus on the UK's mammoth, unprecedented, and, often, highly controversial water investment challenge.As climate pressures mount, population grows, and economic demands increase, the security of our water supply is becoming a defining issue for national resilience. Last December, Ofwat's latest Price Review - PR24 – underscored the scale of that challenge, with more than £48 billion in capital investment planned across England and Wales over the next five years. At the heart of this effort is the need to secure an additional 5 billion litres of water per day by 2050 - equivalent to more than a third of the current supply.This is a national endeavour. The RAPID programme, launched by Ofwat in 2019 to oversee water company spending and prompt more collaborative approach to investment, is now being scaled up to deliver a new generation of strategic water infrastructure in AMP9 – the water companies' latest five year Asset Management Plans. This means new reservoirs, water recycling, large-scale transfers and desalination schemes - many of which will define how and where the UK secures its water future. But meeting these goals will require not just infrastructure, but public trust, regulatory innovation, and cross-sector collaboration. All issue that of course are being reviewed for government right now by Sir Jon Cunliffe, Chair of the Independent Water Commission.My guest today is at the sharp end of this challenge. Siân Thomas is Director of Strategic Asset Management at Anglian Water, one of the biggest and perhaps most progressive water companies, serving over 7 million customers across the East of EnglandSiân is delivering Anglian's AMP8 business plan - the largest in its history, including two new reservoirs, significant upgrades to water recycling and mains networks, and a commitment to cut emissions and improve river health. So well placed to give great insight into the challenges.Siân welcome to the Infrastructure PodcastResourcesOfwat's PR24 determinationThe RAPID programmeAnglian Water's AMP8 plansUtility Week article - "Big projects lured me back into water" (behnid paywall)Sir Jon Cunliffe review

25% of all the water that comes into our homes is flushed down the toilet. By 2050, we're going to need an extra 5 billion litres of water a day - almost a third more - available in 25 years.This increased need for water is driven by a growing population, new homes and a water hungry economy and there's an opportunity to reduce our demand for the highest quality drinking water by using an alternative for things like flushing the toilet and watering the garden. So in todays episode we explore whether harvesting rainwater and using it in our homes could be part of the solution to closing the 5 billion litre shortfall.  You'll hear from George Warren, from Anglian Water, who's driving the 'Enabling Water Smart Communities' project to see how rainwater and water reuse in new housing developments can be scaled up.  Niki's co-host is Tom Chance, the CEO of the Community Land Trust Network,  representing community-led affordable housing projects - who shares the wider landscape around building new homes - and how rainwater harvesting could be included.SponsorsPlanet Possible is grateful to Mackley, Business Modelling Applications & MWH Treatment for their support.

In today's podcast we talk about fixing the broken model for delivering major infrastructure projects in the UK. Why do we need to fix this model?Well, as we know, Britain needs high performing infrastructure if we are to improve the productivity of our economy and boost living standards for communities.“Yet the model we use to deliver and operate much of this infrastructure is broken. “Too often it produces assets and networks that are expensive, perform poorly and fail to exploit the advances in technology that are transforming other industries. Too often the supply chain that delivers our infrastructure seems locked into a cycle of low margins, low investment and dysfunctional relationships.”Not my word but those of the 2017 Infrastructure Client Group report “From Transactions to Enterprises” which unpacked the challenge.And recent project outcomes bear this out if we consider projects such as Crossrail, Jubilee Line Extension, West Coast Mainline upgrade, Hinkley Point C, HS2 – the list goes on. And there are of course many more examples of smaller infrastructure projects failing to deliver. So back in 2017, following this ICG report, Project 13 was born to tackle the problem - an industry-led response to delivery models that fail not just clients and their suppliers, but also the operators and users of our infrastructure systems and networks.Seven years on and the project is going from strength to strength, with support from the World Economic Forum and the Institution of Civil Engineers plus a rake of influential businesses, people and projects.So to find out a bit more, my guest today is Dale Evans, Chair of the Project 13 Strategy Group and partner at Allora Infrastructure. Dale has been intimately involved in the evolution of Project 13 from his time chairing the ICG and while driving industry change as he led the influential @onealliance for Anglian Water.ResourcesProject 13Infrastructure Client GroupFrom Transactions to EnterprisesProject 13 PillarsTransforming Infrastructure PerformanceThe Construction Playbook

Hercules Site Services PLC (AIM:HERC) CEO Brusk Korkmaz and CFO Paul Wheatcroft speak to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the UK infrastructure company released an update on its performance during 2023. Korkmaz highlights the increase in operators from 750 in 2022 to over 1,000 in 2023, marking significant growth in their core labour supply business. Key contracts with major clients like Balfour Beatty, Thames Water, and Anglian Water, and the completion of six projects within the year, underscored their operational success. A major milestone was the acquisition of Future Build Recruitment, expanding Hercules' reach into white-collar construction markets. Wheatcroft focuses on the financial elements of the year, which included a 71% revenue increase to £84.7 million and a gross profit rise of 67% to £16.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA soared by 79% to a record £4.1 million, with pre-tax profits significantly up from the previous year. Looking ahead, Korkmaz expresses confidence in the company's growth strategy and a strong project pipeline for 2024, highlighting the establishment of the Hercules Construction Academy as a strategic step to future-proof the business and strengthen industry relationships. #HerculesSiteServices #CEOInterview #CFOInsights #ConstructionIndustry #FinancialGrowth #BusinessStrategy #LaborSupplyGrowth #AcquisitionStrategy #InfrastructureDevelopment #UKConstruction #RecruitmentInConstruction #FutureBuildRecruitment #CompanyGrowth #FinancialResults #ConstructionMarket #InvestmentStrategy #BusinessExpansion #CorporateInterview #ProactivInterview #ConstructionAcademy #IndustryLeaders #ConstructionTraining #UKBusinessGrowth #BuildingIndustry #OperationalSuccess #ProactiveInvestors #labour #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Water companies in the UK have been dumping ever-increasing amounts of sewage into our rivers and waterways. Now, a law suit could hit them where it hurts and cost them hundreds of millions of pounds. Law firm Leigh Day is leading a collective action accusing them of abusing their dominant position by over-charging customers. The action hinges on the allegation that water companies knowingly failed to report the number and extent of sewage discharges and were therefore  allowed to charge customers more.  The first claim has been issued against Severn Trent and further claims will be issued against Thames Water, United Utilities, Anglian Water, Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water. Zöe Mernick-Levene , a partner at law firm Leigh Day explains the case against them which is being brought by Professor Carolyn Roberts an environmental and water consultant.Ashley Smith from campaign group Windrush Against Sewage Pollution joins us to talk about his work and explain how mathematician Peter Hammond used AI to expose thousands of unnoticed spills. We delve into how this data is captured, scrutinized and the  fact that just 1% of it is reviewed by the environment agency. We'll probe into why water companies are being secretive about data and the crucial impact of citizen scientists in pushing the case forward. We'll also be discussing the reports from dozens of elite triathletes who say they fell ill after competing in the World Championships in Sunderland's water and the response from Northumbria Water. Listen in as we scrutinise the statement issued by the Environment Agency and DEFRA .Brace yourself for a deep dive into the legal challenges faced by water companies for their pollution. Ashley unfolds the inception of Windrush Against Sewage Pollution and its efforts to expose the deteriorating condition of the River Windrush.  Zöe uncovers their legal warfare using opt-out claims to make corporate giants rethink their actions. We'll also compare the water systems globally to the UK's, exploring how privatisation led to profits at the expense of infrastructure. Ending on a note of damages, we decipher how a tribunal would decide the overpayment for each customer.#WaterPollutionUK #SewageScandal #EnvironmentalJustice #WaterwayAbuse #LegalAction #CorporateAccountability #PollutionLawsuit #SewageDischarge #RiversInDanger #EnvironmentalImpact #CitizenScientists #AIExposesPollution #CleanWaterRights #CorporateMisconduct #TransparencyMatters #RiverHealth #WaterwayProtection #PrivatizationEffects #GlobalWaterSystems #PollutionConsequences #LegalChallenges #InfrastructureImpact #CorporateResponsibility #SustainabilityMatters #PollutionAwareness #EnvironmentalAdvocacySupport the showhttps://www.angelawalkerreports.com/

In this episode, UK hosts Peter and Hayley chat with Jonathan Hill, Head of Occupational Health at Anglian Water, the first water company to achieve certification to ISO 45003. They talk about the business case for investment in employee mental health, and Jonathan shares his learnings from going through the process of implementing ISO 45003.

In this episode, Lee chats with James Edmondson, an experienced and results-oriented Agile leader and systemic team coach, with a reputation for working collaboratively with senior teams in both operational and head office environments. He is a people focussed leader with highly attuned emotional intelligence that enables strong relationships at all levels and also a veteran with over 20 years of experience working collaboratively under pressure and with a character that inspires the very best out of high-performing teams. Lee and James discuss his ‘water-based' career, his adaptation of military ‘cell' structures as a form of team management, the meaning of ‘agile' in a team context, moving from military to civilian life, and the lessons he has learned in teams and leadership.  KEY TAKEAWAYS From 20 years in the Navy to his current career with Anglian Water, James has always specialised in team focus.  One of James' first tasks was dealing with the COVID response which gave him invaluable experience in change management. James uses a ‘cell' system model which he learned from the Navy in his team-leading strategy.  James is now a certified team coach after training in the field. The idea of an all-powerful, super-efficient, singular leader is a myth. Get rid of the ego, be humble, ask questions and know that you do not know all the answers. BEST MOMENTS‘I remember looking into the Navy as a teenager and thinking, goodness me, it's just like a really good rugby team or really good football team or really good cricket team. They're always playing together and got focus on an outcome.'-James ‘That cell structure gave us a really cohesive unit. It decentralised leadership to a certain extent. With the way we connected it all together it allowed people to have shared awareness and real clarity on what we were trying to achieve.'-James‘I started to dig into what ‘agile' meant and I did a couple of courses.'-James ‘You've used the word ‘teams' a lot and you've also used ‘team of teams'. What is it about teams that make you feel the way you do and what is it that makes a great team?'-Lee‘The notion of a heroic leader or a superman or supergirl just getting things done on their own is nonsense.'-James‘What makes a great leader? There's so much to go into here but straight away it's humility and trust.'-James VALUABLE RESOURCESBusiness Problems Solved Podcast          ABOUT THE HOSTFor the last 15 years, I have been a multi-sector internal or external business improvement consultant, building the improved capability of individuals, teams and businesses.In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my two young children Jack & India.

Alison Lambert joins Dr. Andy Roark to discuss what can be learned about pet insurance in the United States from pet insurance in the UK and Australia. Both the UK and Australia have traditionally had much greater utilization of pet insurance by pet owners, and as a result, pet insurance in those countries looks quite a bit different than it does in the US. Now, as the market for pet insurance in the United States grows by leaps and bounds, what changes can we expect as more and more pet owners acquire insurance?

Rewiring a business around a new set of purpose-driven priorities is a huge undertaking. It can take several years and involve reassessing strategy, culture, innovation, and investment. Companies serious about purpose recognise that every decision either advances or detracts from the role they play in profitably solving problems for people and the planet.In her latest podcast episode, Given CEO Becky Willan spoke with Peter Simpson, CEO of Anglian Water and founding member and co-Chair of the University of Cambridge's Corporate Leaders Group (CLG), about what it takes for businesses to play a meaningful role in the transition to a climate-neutral, resource-efficient and socially inclusive economy. Listen to Purposing to get the insider's story on how Peter has led Anglian Water's transformation into a truly purpose-driven business, including the move to enshrine their purpose in the fabric of their company constitution; their Articles of Association. These efforts have been widely recognised in the UK; they were named Responsible Business of the Year in 2017, voted ‘best place to work' in the UK by Glassdoor in 2019, and earned the Queen's Award for Sustainable Development in 2020.Do you want to learn how to build a purpose-driven business from Given, the consultancy that's helped some of the world's largest organisations become purposeful?

If we are to meet the challenges that an everchanging world is throwing at us, then the task of accepting that uncertainty is about exploring the possible, rather than the impossible must be recognised by strategists, policy developers, political leaders, and boards and executive committees across the private, public and civil society sectors. This is highly resonant in the current disruptive and VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) times – magnified by the impact of the pandemic, ongoing digital change and increasing inequality. The term ‘unknown–unknowns' is ubiquitous, albeit most future uncertain events do not fall into this category. However, it has been used to absolve decision makers from challenge and even rightful criticism especially post-event – in hindsight. Whilst there may have been good oversight of the ‘known' aspects or what is extrapolated from the past, poor insight and poor foresight are the prime culprits. Most future uncertainties are ‘known-unknowns' or inevitable surprises. It is our reliance on the past, accepted models and lack of accepting alternative , even challenging perspectives, which limits our thinking and actions. This re-positioning of uncertainties can help mitigate the impact of such risks through better foresight-aware contingency planning. As a result, the enemy is not uncertainty itself but our lack of imagination when trying to visualise the future. Most questions now are behavioural. The next industrial revolution is more psychological. As a result, we must expand traditional solution spaces by better embracing creativity and psychology rather than relying on the limiting spaces dominated by metrics and past models. To better understand uncertainty, we must deconstruct it and get to grips with its component parts. Three main questions are posed: 1) What are the main structural components that make up the conditions under which uncertainty operates? 2) What scenario lenses can be used when exploring uncertainty? 3) What behavioural factors do we need to consider when analysing the human responses to uncertainty? Practitioners, having to deal with making better decisions under uncertainty, will find the webinar a useful guide. Speakers: Bruce Garvey provides specialist support for organisations faced with high levels of uncertainty and complexity, addressing problems and issues at a strategic level. His knowledge base allows him to address client problems and issues at a strategic level via a Systems Thinking (Holistic) approach. He has developed proprietary decision support software to help structure complex problems and which has been licenced to organisations such as NATO and Anglian Water. The software and its accompanying process, helps decision makers to reduce often large potential problems to a much smaller set of viable options.

A plan to flood more than a thousand acres of Lincolnshire farmland to create a new reservoir is being met with strong opposition. More than 2000 people have signed a petition opposing Anglian Water's plans for the site near Sleaford. The company says the facility is vital to secure future water supplies as our climate changes and as demand for water grows. Farming Today regularly reports on concerns for farmer's mental health - and now a study suggests farmers are also regularly being subjected to abusive behaviour from members of the public. Researchers from the University of Exeter say it is leading to a "strong sense of disconnection" with the wider public. We speak to the Farming Community Network, which says it wants to do more to connect farmers with the communities that live near by. And as we start a whole week looking at UK wine production, we find out how climate change has been affecting the types of wine being produced.

In this talk, Victoria will set out why she thinks purpose is a concept of profound significance for business and society, because it encapsulates and operationalised the paradigm shift happening at the heart of economics and business. Having lived through a necessary time of proliferation and noise, consensus is starting to emerge about precisely what it is to be a purpose-driven organisation is. This is best evidence by the - about to be launched - first national guidance standard: PAS 808: Purpose-driven Organisations: Worldviews, Principles and Behaviours which was steered by a range of actors including Anglian Water, JLL, B Lab (C Corp), Prof Colin Mayer, John Lewis, ReGenerate, UK Government (DCMS), Future Fit Foundation and Business in the Community. Victoria will outline the accountability frame for purpose at the heart of this standard and how far she thinks purpose-driven firms can create the long-term wellbeing for everyone that we are in danger of irreversibly losing. Speaker: Dr Victoria Hurth works at the intersect of academia and hands-on business to help companies transition to be drivers of long-term wellbeing for all (sustainability). She works most of her time at the University of Cambridge – as a Fellow of the Institute for Sustainability Leadership and as a Visiting Fellow at Judge Business School. focuses on five core pillars: purpose, governance, marketing, leadership and culture. Victoria is currently Technical Author for the first national standard specifying the Worldviews, Principles and Behaviours of Purpose-Driven Organisations (PAS 808). She co-led the process to create ISO 37000, the first global consensus standard on organisational governance and currently co-leads the ISO working group (TC309/WG1) developing standards on Indicators of Effective Governance (ISO 37006) and guidance for governing bodies in Using, Selecting and Creating Indicators (ISO 37005). Victoria is an UNCTAD review panel member for ISAR Honors, was a member of the UNCTAD/UNEP Task Force developing a methodology for SDG indicator 12.6.1 and their guidance on core SDG indicators for business, and was a member of WBCSD's working group on Governance. She is a director of the Soil Association.

Is one of the most frequently asked questions when integrating sustainable urban drainage solutions in the public realm. Our recent interview with the renowned George Warren, ex flood lead at Hammersmith & Fulham and GLA, now Anglian Water highlights the ongoing requirement for partnership with local authorities to tackle adoption and maintenance barriers and break the lack of understanding to encourage nature-based solutions for the benefit of all and support climate adaption.

Anglian Water is the first utility to embed public interest into its Articles of Association, in effect committing the business to consider factors other than profits.

Científicos encontraron en el Reino Unido los colosales restos fosilizados de un ictiosaurio —conocido coloquialmente como "dragón marino"— de 180 millones de años de antigüedad, en lo que los investigadores calificaron como uno de los descubrimientos más importantes de la región. Descubierto en un embalse del condado de Rutland, en la región inglesa de East Midlands, el espécimen es el fósil de ictiosaurio mayor y más completo que se haya encontrado en el Reino Unido, ya que mide casi 10 metros de largo y su cráneo pesa una tonelada. También se cree que es el primero de su especie —Temnodontosaurus trigonodon— que se encuentra en el Reino Unido. Los ictiosaurios, reptiles marinos que vivieron junto a los dinosaurios, se parecían a los delfines por la forma de su cuerpo. Se extinguieron hace unos 90 millones de años, tras aparecer por primera vez hace 250 millones de años. Este ictiosaurio se descubrió en febrero del año pasado en la Reserva Natural de Rutland Water. Lo hizo el grupo de trabajo de Joe Davis, jefe del equipo de conservación de Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust, que gestiona la reserva natural en colaboración con el propietario Anglian Water. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/estacion-online2/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/estacion-online2/support

In a first for the BASIS Agronomy Matters Podcast, this episode has been produced in collaboration with Championing the Farmed Environment (CFE), a partnership which supports farmers to deliver environmental benefits within a productive farming business. This episode was therefore co-hosted by Greg Hopkinson from BASIS and Ellenor Litobarski from CFE. The key topic for this podcast was water quality, looking at how we can manage the movement of soil and water in order to protect watercourses and the wider environment. Our three guests each provided a unique perspective on the impacts agriculture and food production can have on water quality, and what we can do to tackle these issues. Firstly we spoke to Kelly Hewson-Fisher, Catchment Adviser for Anglian Water. Kelly explained what challenges water companies face, and how they are working with farmers to help tackle these issues, for example a collaborative research project in the Great Eau Catchment. If you would like to find out more about the work Anglian Water are doing then please visit their website. We were then joined by Colin Peters, Break Crops Specialist at NIAB, who gave the perspective of a farmer and agronomist on why it is so important that we reduce the risk of soil erosion and pesticide pollution impacting water quality. And finally we spoke to Helen Cheshire, Senior Farming Adviser at the Woodland Trust. Helen explained how integrating tree planting into the agricultural landscape can help mitigate soil erosion and protect the wider environment.

Anglian Water has around 5,000 core employees and thousands more partner employees who bring required skillsets to enhance the company as a business and a service. Successful organisations rely on a good reputation. This provides the foundation of customer loyalty that leads to repeat business and referrals. However, an organisation’s good reputation externally will only surface from a good reputation internally, amongst its own people and this is what we explore in this episode.

Anglian Water currently enjoys a daily surplus of 150 million litres of water, but this is forecast to become a 150 million litre deficit by 2045. To help mitigate this shortfall it is constructing hundreds of kilometres of large diameter pipeline, as well as pumping stations and storage points to divert water from areas with...

Today’s episode is a bonus, brought as a collaboration between Bristol Water, Anglian Water and Essex and Suffolk Water. It was recorded at Innovate East, a collaborative event put on to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing the water industry. This episode explores digitalisation and sustainability – these are two topics of great importance and influence in today’s world. The digital world is driven by the giant technological strides achieved by developments such as the Internet of things, artificial intelligence, robotics etc. It is all about the pursuit of efficiencies. Sustainability issues are driven by climate change and environmental degredation leading to the need to preserve resources and prioritise environmental governance. We discuss whether these two topics can ever come together and whether emerging digital technologies can help water companies deliver on their sustainability goals. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode and look forward to hearing what you think of it.
