The IWater Inspire Award celebrates individuals across the water sector who uplift, empower and influence others through leadership, support and professional development. These are the people who help shape the careers of others while leaving a legacy that strengthens our community.
First awarded in 2024 to Peter Simpson, former CEO of Anglian Water Services and former IWater President, the award recognises those who go beyond their own success to elevate others. Peter was honoured for his inspirational leadership, commitment to talent development, and the long-term impact of his work in the sector.
We’re now inviting IWater members to submit nominations for the 2025 award. We’re looking for individuals who:
- Inspire excellence in others, encouraging ambition and growth
- Demonstrate leadership that strengthens the sector or our IWater community
- Support professional development, whether through mentoring, training, or opening up new opportunities
- Leave a lasting legacy, with a positive and ongoing impact on peers and the wider profession
If someone comes to mind—a colleague, mentor or leader—now’s the time to recognise them.
