A WATER company is celebrating after picking up three accolades at an awards ceremony.

Anglian Water attended the Water Industry Awards which recognise outstanding achievement and innovation.

In addition to taking the Water Company of the Year award, Anglian Water also won the title of Health and Safety Initiative of the Year and Wastewater Innovation Project of the Year which was a brand new category for this year.

Chief executive of Anglian Water Peter Simpson said: “We are delighted to have picked up these awards and to take home the Water Company of the Year is a real honour.

“We pride ourselves on our innovative approach and for this to be recognised by those in the industry is a real testament to everyone.

“The challenges that face the industry are greater than they have ever been from climate change and environmental threats to growth and the engineering skills gap, all alongside continuing to deliver the high level of efficient service our customers expect.

“Everyone at Anglian Water is working extremely hard to meet these challenges.”
