Welcome to the South West Area of the Institute of Water!

In the South West our mission statement is to be ‘Friendly, Supportive, Inclusive, Professional and Fun’. The committee work hard to implement our plans for the year in line with this mission statement, organising events about once a month. Each year we set ourselves a specific objective – our region’s goal for 2022 is to extend our reach into the water companies in the region, and provide events for members at all stages of their careers. Our current area President, Mark Worsfold is particularly passionate about this, and we work hard in the South West area to provide an environment that allows us to support the water industry train, develop, respect, encourage and retain our younger people in the industry.

We are keen to promote the great work happening in the water industry in the South West through annual awards – including the Innovation Awards (January – March each year) and our newly launched ‘Pride in the South West’ aware (April – June each year).

Our events programme, supporting people at all stages of their careers with CPD and providing excellent network opportunities, is made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of the area by 5 sponsors for 2022, without whom we would not be able to offer such a variety of events that often free to attend.

We always welcome comments, feedback and ideas from our membership to your local / company representatives, or to our central email address southwest@instituteofwater.org.uk. We look forward to meeting you at a local or virtual event soon.
