Wessex Water success


Wessex Water is continuing it’s remarkably good performance. They continues to be the best performing water company. Wessex Water have  topped Ofwat’s new Service Incentive Mechanism (SIM) for all areas of customer service as well as the provision of water and sewerage services. On customer satisfaction 98% of customers who contacted them rated their service as good or very good.

Wessex Water have just released their interim financial results and have continued to perform very strongly out performing their capital and operational allowances by more than any other water company. Wessex Water have also won two environmental performance awards for their work on catchment management and work by GENco on waste reduction and recycling. Wessex Water were the best performing water company in the recently published Carbon Reduction Commitment league tables.

Wessex Water have for most of the time since privatisation been at the top of the league tables. They are very unusual in having had the same Chief Executive, Colin Skellett,  since 1988 and several other of their Directors are  almost as long serving. It’s the view of this blog that this can not be a coincidence and perhaps something other companies should consider emulating.
