The two top bosses of Thames Water are to give up their bonuses for the last financial year following criticism of its record on sewage discharges into rivers and fixing leaks.
Chief executive Sarah Bentley and chief financial officer Alastair Cochran said it “doesn’t feel right” to accept performance-related payments. In the previous year, Ms Bentley received £496,000 in remuneration linked to performance on top of the base pay of £750,000. Mr Cochran was awarded £298,000 in addition to his salary of £450,000.
