The Secretary of State and ministerial team regularly meets representatives from all water companies, including Thames Water, regarding financial and operational performance. As part of their introductory series of meetings, the Defra Secretary of State and ministerial team will meet with all water companies on a range of issues in the coming weeks and months.

Furthermore, Minister Pow, as Minister responsible for water, met with Thames Water’s interim CEOs Alastair Cochran and Cathryn Ross and Chair Sir Adrian Montague on Tuesday 14th November to discuss both their financial and operational performance across a range of issues. Minister Moore will shortly be following up with Thames Water regarding operational performance following publication of the Thames Water Service Commitment Plan to understand how the company can accelerate action to improve performance across the business.
