The UK water sector risks falling into a familiar cycle of late-stage pressure and rising costs unless it addresses the underlying cause of the slow start to AMP8. That’s according to specialist recruiter Murray McIntosh.
In the light of Environment Minister Stephen Barclay’s call for water company CEOs to accelerate plans to deliver on sewage spills reductions in the next 12 months, Steve Morris, Managing Director at wastewater technology specialists HUBER Technology UK, takes a look at mitigating risk and delivering supply chain resilience during AMP8.
James Sumsion, CEO of predictive water intelligence specialists Kohtari, says the water sector needs to take a giant leap forward, so that it can anticipate and act upon water quality issues - rather than merely react.
Ray Moulds, Sales Director at Flood Control International, takes a look at how automated sliding floodgates are supporting secondary containment at water and sewerage company sites.
With the UK government demanding a 50% reduction in storm overflow spills by 2029, the era of reactive management is over. Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025, then environment secretary Steve Reed said, “This Government will cut water companies’ sewage pollution in half by the end of the decade.”
