blu-3 has joined The Future Water Association to pave the way for future projects with water companies.
blu-3, a specialist multi-utility and civil engineering company, aims to extend its portfolio of projects with leading companies operating within the water sector over the coming years.
Membership of The Future Water Association will enable the company to better understand the procurement needs of water companies and build blu-3’s profile within the sector.
Jim Southworth, blu-3 Managing Director said:
“We have ambitious growth plans at blu-3 that will see us raising our profile even further across multiple sectors, including utilities and water. Joining The Future Water Association is a great step towards helping us to achieve this goal.
“We have a lot to offer the water companies with our skill-set and innovation but up until recently we haven’t been focused on developing these networks to a greater extent. Our membership of the organisation will help us to build those relationships, open doors to new opportunities and enable us to demonstrate our outstanding service offering.”
