Head of Demand Management

Justine is heavily involved in projects helping various clients meet their leakage targets and better plan their water resources. She specialises in utilising a number of digitising and geoprocessing techniques (e.g. GIS) for leakage and other environmental projects.

Head of Wastewater Infrastructure

Paul has over 20 years’ experience in the water industry, relating to technical delivery of sewerage studies, strategic planning, asset management and the regulatory process. He is also heavily involved in the WRcCSO project. 

Principal Consultant

Andy's expertise covers all technologies of flow measurement across clean and wastewater applications. He designs and performs test and evaluation exercises against requirements on meters, and has been closely involved with the EA's MCERTS scheme for water monitoring.

Principal Consultant

Nick is a C.WEM and C.Eng specialising in sewers: inspection technologies; deterioration mechanisms; collapse analysis; hydraulic modelling; and cost analysis of flooding schemes. He was a major contributor to the SRM Sewer Risk Management website Sewer Renovation Design Guide.

Principal Engineer

James has extensive experience working in the water industry, encompassing all aspects of water supply and distribution. He leads WRc's engineers in helping water utilities to analyse network-wide performance and optimise networks using modelling, contributing to leakage reduction.

Principal Toxicologist

Ehi is a Principal Toxicologist at the National Centre for Environmental Toxicology (NCET). She has over 20 years’ experience in undertaking research and providing scientific assessments on the health effects of exposures to chemicals.

Technical Manager

Anthony specialises in advising on, developing, and implementing innovative techniques and solutions for pipeline condition assessment, inspection and leak detection (including Sahara®, SmartBall®, and PipeDiver®), as part of WRc's wider goal to help reduce leakage.

Principal Consultant

Jeremy's expertise lies in the modelling of systems, processes and hydraulics at sewage and industrial effluent treatment works. He is the lead developer of WRc's software tools for dynamic wastewater plant modelling (STOAT) and design (Plan-It STOAT), and helped develop WRc's cost and carbon modelling software (TR61) and catchment-scale modelling software (SIMPOL ICM).

Principal Consultant

Stewart is technical lead for our thermal treatment projects and closely involved in the EfW BAT review and the extension of the UK ETS to the sector. He has over 20 years’ academic, consultancy and operational experience in waste.

Principal Consultant

Richard is a process engineer with over 12 years’ experience in waste and recycling. He specialises in the development and evaluation of separation and recycling processes for a range of materials, including waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), automotive shredder residue (ASR), packaging and construction products. Richard also provides support to brands, retailers and product designers to improve product recyclability and circularity.
