Two prestigious wins at Water Industry Awards and Women in Utilities Awards 2025
Published: 3 July 2025
We're proud to have secured two major accolades across the Water Industry Awards 2025 and Women in Utilities Awards 2025. These wins reflect our unwavering commitment to innovation, environmental stewardship, and talent development across the utilities sector.
Water Industry Awards 2025
Group company Detectronic, in partnership with Severn Trent Water, received the Pollution Mitigation Initiative of the Year award for the WINEP Overflow Programme at the Water Industry Awards.
This pioneering initiative deployed over 450 flow meters and 100 rain gauges across 130 catchments, enabling real-time monitoring and predictive modelling of combined sewer overflows (also known as storm overflows). The project has significantly reduced pollution incidents, improved regulatory compliance, and enhanced environmental protection, demonstrating a scalable, data-led approach to sustainable wastewater management.
It was fantastic to also have been shortlisted in the Delivery Partner of the Year and Rising Star of the Year categories.
Women in Utilities Awards 2025
Later in the week, Ellie-kay Dawe from Group company Aqua Consultants picked up the Rising Star (Utility Partner) award at the Women in Utilities Awards, further cementing her status as one of the sector's most promising talents.
Her work spans technical excellence, stakeholder collaboration, and advocacy for biodiversity and social value. Ellie-kay's dual recognition highlights her exceptional contributions to both the organisation and wider utilities community.
Also shortlisted in the Mentor of the Year category was National Account Manager Ayisha Khurshid.
