Business Breakfast: Yorkshire Water launches recruitment campaign for river health team
The Stray Ferret Business Club’s next meeting is an after work drinks event on Thursday, August 31 at The West Park Hotel in Harrogate between 5-7pm.

Yorkshire Water is recruiting 16 new staff for a brand new river health department.
The company has set up the team to deliver a joined-up, region-wide approach to river health across the many organisations and stakeholders in Yorkshire.
The 34-strong team will be working closely with community groups to understand what is important to them and develop a way of working together to improve river health in partnership.
The firm is set to recruit an environmental investigation lead, river health improvement manager, river health partnership and community engagement advisor.
Kevin Reardon, head of river health at Yorkshire Water, said:
“We are committed as a business to playing our part to further improve river and coastal water quality around the region. The health of our rivers is a key national conversation, and we all have a lot to do to deliver investment in the areas that will make improvements to water quality.
“We know river and coastal water quality is a key priority for our customers and this new department illustrates our commitment to doing the right thing and working hard, alongside other stakeholders, as we begin our largest programme of environmental investment since privatisation.
“Yorkshire Water colleagues are passionate about the environment and we’re currently recruiting for 16 additional roles to help complete our team, which we believe will make further improvements to river health in the next two years and prepare ourselves for the next investment period 2025-2030.”
