Water bosses’ pay 2018

Another year, another round of bumper payouts for water bosses.

The latest accounts of England’s nine water and sewerage companies show their highest paid directors shared £11 million between them last year.

Our research, commissioned by the GMB union and released by them earlier this week, shows water companies have paid their bosses £70 million in the last six years.
