What path did you use to get to the position you hold today?

I left school and worked in a number of companies before joining South West Water in 2007. I’ve been with the company ever since and have held various roles each bringing new challenges and rewards. In my current job I have the opportunity to mix with lots of different people and networking can be key to opening doors or finding new challenges.

What attracted you to join the energy and utilities sector?

I had a number of family members in the industry and following many discussions about their work I became very interested in exploring this line of work for myself.

What do you think of the career prospects? Have you had much training and development?

As the industry is constantly evolving, training and development plays a huge part in ensuring we’re all doing the best we can in the most effective way possible. I personally have had the opportunity to develop a number of new skills to help me with my current role and the project work I have been involved in. In our business we often run incentives alongside the delivery of a new process or procedure as this encourages everyone to embrace change.
