How Thames Water, Costain and Barhale are preparing their workforce to deliver across AMP 8 

Watch webinar recording now

This webinar was produced in association with Utility Week. 

Across the next budget period, the water sector will need to deliver more than ever before (96 billion). It's a massive undertaking that relies on sourcing the biggest water workforce to date.

And, as Panellist Phil Cull put it, "We can't just magic people out thin air", so what can the sector do to grow the workforce, adopt new management approaches and unleash innovation across the sector? 

In this webinar, Utility Week's Ben Hargreaves hosts a panel conversation with leaders from across industry as they give their view on how we can overcome this challenge:

  • Gareth Mullen, head of health, safety and wellbeing, Thames Water
  • Jack Boon, workforce solution unit lead, Causeway Technologies
  • Phil Cull, southern region director, Barhale
  • Ian Nixon, SHE director, Costain
