Strategic Alliances – Draft

Our Alliances: Working together for a stronger future 

For over 20 years, our Strategic Alliances have helped deliver some of the biggest infrastructure projects in the UK, investing more than £4bn in Anglian Water’s capital programme. They play a key role in making sure we can continue supplying top-quality water and wastewater services to millions of customers across our region. 

 

Our Strategic Alliances are a vital part of the Anglian Water story, they allow us to deliver complex projects more efficiently while allowing us to protect our region on a much larger scale than ever before.  

Be Part of Something Bigger 

An Alliance is more than just a collaboration, it’s an integrated team, formed of staff from different organisations, sharing common values, goals and practices to deliver projects together, by utilising the unique specialities each partner brings to the table.  

 

This approach allows us to deliver work more efficiently, keeping costs down and making sure each project provides the best possible value.  

 

Each of our Alliances has a clear purpose. Some focus on maintaining and repairing our network whilst others deliver large-scale construction projects, install smart meters or build new pipelines.  

But every project benefits from the unique skill, experience and perspective that each team members brings – including you!
