Charlotte Huntley and Subash Subbappa triumph at the Water Industry Forum Challenge

Our engineering team members Charlotte Huntley and Subash Subbappa recently participated in the prestigious Water Industry Forum (WIF) Team Challenge. This annual event, hosted by WIF, brings together industry professionals to tackle critical issues facing the UK water sector. This year, participants were tasked with pitching ideas to convey the importance of integrated water management to relevant stakeholders.

Charlotte and Subash were selected to join two separate teams, collaborating with other professionals in the industry. The competition featured 12 teams, with each evaluated on several criteria, including the understanding of the task, stakeholder engagement strategies, practicality, potential impact, innovation, and presentation quality.

We are thrilled to announce that Charlotte and her team not only won first place but were also awarded the prize for the most innovative presentation! As part of her prize, Charlotte attended a special lunch, the WIF Annual Dinner, in Birmingham last month with the WIF board of directors, and she will receive mentoring from a WIF board member. She will also have the opportunity to speak at next year’s WIF Team Challenge event.

Congratulations to Charlotte on this well-deserved success, and a big shout-out to Subash for his commendable effort in tackling this challenging competition!
