Tell us about your career path, and what led you to your current role?

My career started  many years ago working in supply chain for an OEM company, this company entered into the water industry importing DI fittings and then merging with another to incorporate pipe and a factory where we could fabricate, here is where i learnt that water doesn't just come out of a tap and is what i have lived and breathed for the past 17 years, having been in sales for majority of this time.

I enjoy learning what the industry has to offer and have made some truly lifelong friends, this is the reason i am in my current role, the diversity, strength, resilience and flexibility everyone has here at R2M, is second to none. I am excited to see what 2023 brings!

What do you see as the most challenging aspect of working in the water industry?

In the UK we have an AMP period, AMPs are valid for 5 years and are regulated with OFWAT.
We are halfway through AMP7 (2020-2025), however due to Covid19 and other external factors we have not seen the usual curves of the AMP period. Many projects have been shelved due to increased prices, lead times and contract awards are changing or coming through early, there is a lot of changes being seen in the UK Water industry.
