CCW appoints Chief Executive

CCW has announced that it has confirmed Mike Keil as its permanent Chief Executive.

Keil took the reins on an interim basis last October after the departure of former CEO Emma Clancy, following her three years at the helm. He has been with CCW for the past seven years having previously served as the organisation’s Head of Policy and Research, later rising to Senior Director of Policy, Research, and Campaigns.

Rob Wilson, Chair of CCW said “After a thorough and open recruitment process, I am delighted to confirm Dr Mike Keil as our permanent CEO. He will lead the organisation through the next crucial period of change and development for our organisation.

“There is a considerable amount to do on behalf of water consumers and I know that Mike’s vast experience and calm voice will be an important one for the sector. The water industry is facing some significant challenges – whether that’s rebuilding trust in water companies’ environmental performance or ensuring water bills are affordable for everyone – and the voice of the customer needs to be heard. Mike and I have plans to ensure that’s exactly what happens.”
