Wessex Water: based in Claverton Down, overlooking the Limpley Stoke Valley, our 3 acre operations centre has won a number of prestigious environmental and building awards. It is one of very few buildings to achieve an Excellent Environmental Assessment Award under BREEAM 98 for Offices from the Building Research Establishment, with an environmental performance index of 10 - the highest possible. The award is a widely accepted and respected independent scheme that sets a benchmark for environmental performance. In 2001 it was named as the winner of the building award at the British Construction Industry awards - one of the highest honours in the building industry. Our operations centre also beat off stiff international competition to win the Building of the Year award at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyor's awards in 2002. It was described as 'a building designed to set a new benchmark for the future.'
Serving over 2.5 million customers in the South West of England, in 2004 the Enviornment Agency announced that Wessex Water was the best performing water and sewerage company in England and Wales for achieving 100% compliance with sewage discharge standards. Our corporate solutions team offers tailor made solutions to meet the needs of large businesses in our region.
