United Utilities appoints new director
United Utilities has announced the appointment of a new non-executive director.
The Warrington-based water company has appointed Sara Weller to the board of directors.
Weller is non-executive director of Lloyds Banking Group and lead non-executive director for the Department for Communities and Local Government. She was also formerly the managing director of Argos.
Chairman Dr John McAdam said: "We are delighted Sara is joining the board of United Utilities given her extensive experience.
"Her understanding of customer facing businesses, together with her knowledge of operating within a regulated environment, will be major assets to the board as the water industry prepares for the opening up of the sector to more competition."
United Utilities reported a four per cent revenue increase in its latest interim statement earlier this month.
