Our Annual Performance Report comprises a wealth of financial and non-financial information for our stakeholders along with showcasing our brand.

- All Annual Performance Report data must be carefully catalogued to enable informed analysis and prompt responses to future queries
- Records must be constantly updated to help us to focus resources correctly and keep on track with meeting our deadlines.

- You’ll be a confident and professional communicator able to articulate regulatory requirements and demonstrate how individual contributors fit into a greater goal.
- You will use your influencing skills, both internally and externally, such that regulatory outcomes are aligned with TWUL’s corporate aims, objectives and transformation plan
- Working with business teams to track and forecast our performance commitments, building an understanding of performance drivers and ensuring ‘in-year’ reporting risks are appropriately identified and resolved (escalating as required).
- Acting as a gatekeeper for our external regulators, including Ofwat, the Environment Agency and Drinking Water Inspectorate, by specifying and providing expert support and advice to business units on what is required to meet TWUL’s external reporting requirements
