National Apprenticeship Week gives us an opportunity to reflect on how organisations like ours are attracting and retaining the very best talent our region has to offer. I believe that providing a variety of routes into employment is essential to enabling social mobility and creating a workforce fit for the future.
As one of the largest employers in the South West, creating opportunities for young people across our region not only makes great business sense - bringing new perspectives and talent into our organisation – but is also simply the right thing to do.
Here at Pennon and South West Water, we believe our people are our best asset. Delivering great services for our customers and communities starts with having the right people. As Chief People Officer my mantra is simple, if you trust your team, empower them and equip them with the skills they need they will deliver great results for customers.
