British Water’ s 2015-20 strategy has been developed to drive the organisation forward over the next five years to benefit our members and to support their business growth.
The strategy for growth takes account of the challenges facing the supply chain in the UK and international marketplace. Our strategy for British Water was approved in 2015. This document provides the strategic direction for our organisation, based on our Vision and our Mission Statement, for the period 2015 to 2020, as follows:
Our Vision...

Our Mission...
• To support members’ business
• To represent members’ interests
• To promote best practice
• To enhance the value of British Water Membership
Our Strategy...
To grow the organisation to benefit our members with the following key strategic objectives:
• Growing our revenues and surplus
• Growing our services to members
• Growing our organisation in line with services
• Growing and developing our Brand and Profile
Business Plan
We now have an agreed Business Plan for the period 2016 / 17 to 2018 / 19, which has been developed from the key elements of our strategy. It focuses on growing our: revenue; membership; organisation and brand: identifying the actions needed to deliver this growth and to monitor our performance over the period. The performance objectives contained in the Plan enable the management team to focus on the most important aspects of the document and are monitored on a regular basis, by both the team itself and the Board.
Brexit
Brexit will have an enormous impact on British Water’ s members, and we shall ensure that all of them receive the best possible advice and guidance during what is likely to be a period of great uncertainty. British Water has a distinctly positive part to play at this time and we shall support our members and represent their views and opinions as actively as possible.
Additional comments on Brexit and British Water may be found in the International pages of this Handbook.
