Albion Water, the first NAV (New Appointment & Variation) to have been established in 1999 and now under the ownership of SDS Water Group, has appointed Andy Holland as its new Director of Business Development.

Andy brings with him more than two decades of technical and commercial experience in water and wastewater infrastructure, helping to shape growth across the UK utilities sector.

Prior to his appointment at Albion Water Andy held senior positions within the Severn Trent Group, Icosa Water and Last Mile and has been instrumental in their growth strategies and success.

With a focus on broadening Albion Water’s market share, Andy said of his new role:

“I’m excited to join Albion Water at such an important time for the NAV sector. There is a real opportunity to help developers unlock land through innovative, on-site water and wastewater solutions, while supporting more sustainable outcomes through Water Recycling Centres and SuDS. Albion Water has a strong reputation and proven expertise in this space, and I look forward to building new partnerships, strengthening existing relationships and helping more clients benefit from what we can deliver.”

Albion Water was the first NAV to be licensed by OFWAT in 1999 and since that time has remained at the forefront of on-site treatment and difficult to serve developments.

The appointment comes as developers face growing pressure to deliver housing and infrastructure in a way that is resilient, efficient and environmentally responsible. By combining NAV expertise with the wider SDS Water Group’s specialist knowledge in water reuse, sustainable drainage and integrated water management, Albion Water says  it is well placed to support new communities with practical, future-focused solutions.
