Spring will bring stakeholders together from across academia, the supply chain, and water companies to deliver better value for customers as well as better outcomes for society and the environment. Spring will redefine what the UK water industry is known for internationally and, working alongside UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR), will help facilitate collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing.

Mott MacDonald is one of the five founding bid members of Spring, alongside Capgemini, Jacobs, RSK, and Schneider Electric.

“We’re proud to be a founding member of Spring at this crucial time for the water industry,” said Sally Watson, technical excellence and digital lead for water and environment at Mott MacDonald. “The water sector faces several challenges and opportunities, from its net-zero ambitions to adapting to a changing climate, which requires new ideas and new ways of working.”
