South West Area

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

South West Area

In the South West our mission statement is to be ‘Friendly, Supportive, Inclusive, Professional and Fun’. The committee works hard to implement our plans for the year in line with this mission statement, organising events about once a month.

 

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. 

 

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 sponsors, without whom we would not be able to offer such a variety of events that are 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
