CCW, the independent voice for water consumers in England and Wales, has announced the appointment of four new independent non-executive Directors to its Board, following their appointment by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Lisa Tennant, Jeff Halliwell, Rachel Onikosi and Bev Keogh all began their new roles with the consumer body on 1st June. Their appointments represent the latest move by CCW to transform the way it operates and forge positive partnerships within the water sector.
Robert Light, Chair of CCW, has welcomed the appointments he said “Our four new independent Board members will bring fresh thinking and new ideas to an organisation that’s committed to modernising its approach to representing water consumers in England and Wales.”
“The next four years present us with a golden opportunity to implement the changes we believe will end water poverty as well as ensuring consumers have an even more powerful voice during the next price review. The expertise and influence of CCW’s new Board members will play a vital role in achieving this.”
Robert also paid tribute to the contributions of outgoing CCW board members Sir Tony Redmond, Julie Hill MBE, Professor Bernard Crump and David Heath CBE: “Through constructive challenge, our departing Board members showed themselves to be true consumer champions and have achieved a great deal on behalf of water consumers over the years. I wish them great success in their future endeavours.”
