The chief executive of trade association Water UK will step down at the end of the year after nearly 17 years in the role, Utility Week can exclusively reveal.
Pamela Taylor, who helped to establish Water UK in 1998, has told the trade association’s board she will step down at the end of the year.
Previously she held the post of chief executive for the Water Companies Association and prior to that worked in a management consultancy capacity for a number of years with the World Health Organisation, the NHS, and the Design Council.
Announcing her departure to Utility Week, Taylor said: “I couldn’t have wished for a more rewarding role.
“It’s a wonderful sector and I have had the privilege of working with such great people – stakeholders, company people and staff.”
She added that she was “fortunate” to be involved in setting up the trade association, writing the first blueprint document which the water companies signed up to.
Taylor said: “The sector has faced many challenges and been through some very tough times. But Water UK and our members have also achieved many successes that have benefited public health, customers and the environment.”
Before she departs at the end of the year, Taylor added that “there are many challenges ahead” and that there is “still plenty to achieve”.
