PIPING UP
"From my point of view,
it's the culmination of a
career – you couldn't ask
for a better project."
Jim jenkins, Abberton Programme
Manager, Essex & Suff olk Water (P14)
Ian Plenderleith,
Chief Executive,
Dee Valley Water

"If your
customers
believe you
are providing
a high calibre
service, it's
surprising how
you can limit
the impact of
politics on your
business."
