Sweett Group wins water work

Consultant Sweett Group has won its first contract in the water utilities sector, in joint venture with Aqua Consultants.

Sweett Group has been appointed one of three providers on a three year framework for United Utilities, which provides water and wastewater services to nearly 7 million people in the North-west of England. The work will be delivered through Sweett’s offices in Leeds and Manchester.

Derek Pitcher, managing director for Europe and MEAI, said: “Targeting new sectors such as utilities and energy is one of the group’s main growth strategies and I am very pleased to see us developing the kind of sector-specific expertise we are known for across the retail, health and commercial fields.”
