J Browne Construction has been awarded Affinity Water’s WaterSaving Programme Support Contract to help deliver their universal metering programme, alongside home water efficiency visits to reduce consumption
The programme involves installing 75,000 meters in the remaining 3 years of the AMP6 programme and the agreement has a potential 3 year extension into AMP7.
J Browne has engaged customer service experts, Blue Sky, to train its customer facing staff and has seen an excellent response from the team involved in the metering works done to date.
Commenting on the win, Managing Director, Paul McMahon said:
“This was one of our main strategic goals of 2017 and we believe our offer of providing an excellent service starting right from survey stage, and delivering with real emphasis on health safety, well-being, and customer service has been well received. We look forward to working closely with our Affinity Water colleagues for the next 3 years and beyond. It’s an important win for us and we are very proud that Affinity Water has chosen us”.
