We understand the importance of looking after ourselves, whether it’s at work or home 💙 So, we have recently introduced reflection rooms at some of our sites, for people to pray or for anyone who wants a quiet space. Looking after our people has always been important, and helping our people feel comfortable coming to work as their whole self is central to our wellbeing and inclusion strategy. The new reflection rooms have already become a popular space for colleagues to have some quiet time and look after themselves.

Before some local school children headed off for their summer holidays, they had the chance to create a little piece of history! The team working to build our new pipeline recently visited some school children to show how the new pipe that will run right past their school will keep taps flowing for generations to come - so everyone can always turn on the tap to brush their teeth or make that first morning cuppa ☕ But that’s not all – they also wrote their names on a section of the pipe which will be going into the ground soon! Our new pipeline will stretch several hundred kilometres from North Lincolnshire to Essex, taking water from wetter parts of the region to drier 💧 Explore more about how we’re working to protect every drop here - https://lnkd.in/exrW3FRB

Last week we co-hosted a Drinking Water Products Industry Workshop in London alongside Southern Water, NWG (Northumbrian Water Group) and WRc, to bring the water industry together to collaborate on shared challenges around approved drinking water products.

We all identified key actions for us to take forward as an industry. Thank you to all the presenters on the day and everyone who attended.
Meet Dean and Darren 👋 Yesterday was National Sibling Day and not only are Dean and Darren siblings, they’re also twins! Darren has worked at Anglian Water for over 17 years and is Regulation Director leading on the development of our business plan covering the next five years (known in the water industry as PR24.) When an opportunity became available that was perfect for Dean, Darren knew he had to get him to apply and told him all about the great support and opportunities available at Anglian Water. Dean said “Since I joined the Brand and Marketing Team nearly 4 years ago, it's been really interesting working in the same business as Darren, and people don't get us confused too often! It's a great place to work and I've had chances to get new skills and training since I've joined."
