PIPING UP
Graham Heatley,
CH2M Hill
"One of the biggest
challenges that faces
our sector is how
companies deliver
the best overall value,
as opposed to just
what can be done at
the cheapest price"
"If we can now move
forward to implementing
the recommendations
in the report, we will be
taking the fi rst key steps
to increasing the UK's
share of the global water
technology market
Mark Lane, British Water
