Future opportunities
In ending , Chris explains why 2024 has seen Bridges further its market share within the UK regulated water sector . “ The regulated water sector is at the start of a new , five-year investment period referred to as AMP8 ( 2025-2030 ),” he says . “ With a record program valued at £ 88 billion , this will be the largest capital investment period since the sector ’ s privatization , and we look forward to working collaboratively with our customers across the sector supporting them with their programs .
“ We ’ ve also been awarded the MEICA package for the first large-scale water storage reservoir in the UK since the 1990s , Havant Thickett Reservoir . We ’ re very excited about this project , as it will play a key role in protecting internationally important chalk rivers by securing a new sustainable source of water for the region . “ Further afield , I anticipate Bridges expanding its market share as we further diversify our project and product portfolio ,” Chris concludes . “ Through our people , we have the foundations , pedigree , and reputation as a leader and innovator in the engineering solutions market .” ■
