Providing water services throughout the Severn Trent region
Working as part of Severn Trent Services, all our employees get two days per year to go out and give back to our local communities.
Recently, some of our Commercial Water Services team, who operate and maintain thousands of assets that provide water and wastewater services across the UK, teamed up with Bromford Housing to support a local in need of a garden refresh.
The Water Services Contracts (WSC) department is the largest in Severn Trent Services, a part of Severn Trent. It specialises in providing water and wastewater asset management services for private networks nationwide.
WSC has a team of over 180 highly engaged people, scoring 8.6/10 for engagement in an annual survey, which exceeds industry benchmarks. The department’s turnover rate is lower than the UK average, so employees tend to stay with the company, too.
Many employees have recommended Severn Trent Services to their relatives and partners as a great place to work. We spoke to those who’ve encouraged their friends and family to join, and this is what they had to say.
Aqualytix, a specialist in water treatment and Legionella control, is now in its second year of providing water hygiene services to County Hospital, located in Stafford, part of the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust.
Since 2022, we’ve expanded our range of services to the hospital, reflecting the partnership’s success in keeping staff and patients safe from water hygiene risks, including Legionella bacteria associated with water systems.
With covering a such a diverse range of roles across the UK, we’re super lucky to work amongst families of all shapes and sizes. With today being Fathers Day we’d like to honor the dads who shape our lives.
It’s Water Saving Week 2024, an initiative hosted by Waterwise. This year, the focus is on highlighting the small changes everyone can make to have a big impact on water conservation.
Robin Phillips, Head of Sustainability at Severn Trent Services, says: “As part of our sustainability plan, we’re focussed on supporting our customers in reducing their environmental impact, which includes helping them save water. But as employees and householders ourselves, we also do what we can to conserve this precious resource during Water Saving Week and beyond!”
Jamie Seymour is from the Severn Trent Services engineering leadership team. He tells us about an initiative he’s worked on to assess projected carbon emissions associated with our work.
Last summer, Andrew Twigg, Head of Operations at Aqualytix – specialists in water treatment and Legionella control – returned to Harper Adams University. This was the same university where Andrew started his career in the water hygiene industry over 15 years ago.
As the month of Ramadan draws to a close, Muslims worldwide eagerly anticipate the celebration of Eid.
We’ve had the pleasure of catching up with Samad Abbaas, one of our Business Analysts, to learn about what he’s been up to during the religious month of Ramadan, and how he’s planning on celebrating Eid with his family.
Having worked with many organisations that have private water and wastewater networks, she’s all too familiar with the challenges some face and is passionate about helping address them. One tool in her armoury is the Severn Trent Services Network Infrastructure Feasibility Study.
Carole says: “Today, like most organisations, our customers are worried about rapidly rising costs, changes in regulation, and operating more sustainably. These are problems that we pride ourselves on being able to help solve.
“Deploying network infrastructure feasibility studies helps us to gain a fantastic grasp of our customer’s networks and the issues we can proactively prevent and solve for them.”
It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, and organisations with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual.
This week, as part of our celebrations, we have been speaking to Regional Service Delivery Manager, Mike Killingbeck, and he has kindly shared some of his experiences. Read his story below.
