New Managing Director for Water Resources East

Water Resources East (WRE) has announced Daniel Johns – currently Head of Public Affairs for Anglian Water – as the new Managing Director, taking over from Robin Price.

He will start work with WRE on 17th January 2022 and there will be a short period of handover and transition with Robin.

Before joining Anglian Water, Daniel was a senior civil servant at Defra where he worked on water, agriculture, and environment policy. Before that, he spent four years at the Climate Change Committee as their Head of Adaptation. Daniel is a Fellow of the Chartered Institution of Water Environmental Management and Chair of the National Flood Forum Board of Trustees.

We wish both Daniel and Robin success in their new roles.
