LEADING THE WATER RESEARCH AGENDA

UKWIR has been positively shaping the UK water industry's future for over 25 years.

We facilitate, manage & deliver a strategic programme of research projects for our members, the Water Companies of the UK and Ireland, to address the key challenges they face. We do this by providing leadership in shaping the future water research agenda.

BIG QUESTIONS

The focus of our research is captured in our Big Questions. These questions cover many Research Themes and activities of work and represent the key challenges they face, now and in the future.

Utilities have an increasingly high-profile role in delivering net zero, protecting the environment and supporting customers. There is now a clear expectation that these providers of lifeline services go beyond their regulatory requirements in all of these areas. Utilities know they have a duty to demonstrate efficiency, innovation, ambition and a genuine commitment to their customers and their communities. These are long-term responsibilities and require energy and water companies to develop a diverse and inclusive workforce that is fit for future challenges.

The Utility Week Awards are a celebration of achievement across all of these areas – highlighting the hard work, dedication and creativity at the heart of the industry.

Utility Week Live is a premier pan-utility exhibition uniting policy makers, asset owners and operators, delivery partners and innovators under one roof. As commitment to net zero and decarbonisation targets are accelerated under a new government, the pressure for the supply chain to deliver the major infrastructure and asset management required is unprecedented. There is an urgent need for utilities to work effectively with their partners in the supply chain; and for construction to be delivered at pace. 

UWL brings leading energy and water companies together with hundreds of industry innovators to showcase their latest developments alongside an action-packed content programme, running across multiple stages for two days.

The Water Industry Awards offer an unparalleled opportunity to showcase how the UK water sector is driving forward and delivering change.

In 2025 water companies will kick off their biggest ever investment programme, with more than £100 billion being spent up until 2030. Delivering this investment as effectively and as efficiently as possible will require innovation and fresh ways of working. And this is exactly what we are celebrating with the Water Industry Awards 2025.

The 2025 scheme sees a refresh of the categories and criteria to reflect the challenges facing the modern water company and their supply chain partners.

WUN was started in 2018 when a group of likeminded women, working in utilities, united around a common cause. The five founders were not only passionate about the industry they worked in, but also passionate about the contribution women were making and could continue to make in the future.

The Utilities sector still lacks diversity and with many women still being underrepresented. Women make up only 28% of the Utilities workforce & 29.6% of leadership roles – Source Energy & Utility Inclusion Measurement Framework, 2025.

WUN has now created quite a movement. With over 10,000 members and followers and providing a variety events for members to attend as well as a free mentoring service. WUN goes from strength to strength due to our ambitious plans & in January 2025 we won Network of the Year at The Great British Businesswoman Awards.
