British Water is a corporate membership association and has a wide and varied membership covering all sectors of the water industry. From consultants, legal and financial partnerships, manufacturers of equipment and multi-disciplinary contractors to SMEs and independent consultants. British Water works with colleagues in industry to bring a coherent approach to delivering in partnership with the water companies, the best for the British water industry.

We try to ensure each member company has access to those services that will enhance their development potential and provide an added value factor to the way they do business.

British Water provides opportunities for those companies in membership to participate in a wide range of activities across our three main areas of operation:

• UK (municipal and industrial sectors)
• international (providing export assistance)
• technical (all aspects of technical innovation and processes pertinent to the water and wastewater industry).

Whether large or small, each member company can take part in as many areas of British Water activity as desired. There is no restriction to the number of company representatives taking part in membership activities.

The Benefits of Membership are varied and can provide the edge to a member’s business that a non-member company would not have.

We welcome companies in membership which enhance the standing of the British water industry in the UK and overseas: companies which are willing to collaborate with colleagues to meet the challenges of changing regulatory demands, have a desire to develop their own business potential to its maximum and promote best practice to the enhancement of the industry as a whole.
