David Hinton has today resigned as Chief Executive Officer of South East Water. He will remain in post to allow an orderly transition over the summer period and continued momentum of the transformation plan while the Board undertakes the process of finding a replacement. Further details will be announced in due course.
Mr Hinton has decided to step down as he feels his position has become an increasing distraction from South East Water’s most important priority, which is to deliver a resilient water supply for its customers. The Board remains focused on accelerating targeted engineering works and making operational changes to improve the resilience of the supply network, increase water capacity and quality in high priority areas as part of a comprehensive, Company-wide transformation plan.
Lisa Clement, Interim Independent Non-Executive Chair, said: “The Board acknowledges and thanks Dave for his many years of loyal dedication and service to South East Water."
