He said: "Over the last six years the UK and Ireland business has been transformed under Estelle's leadership in line with the group's 'Resourcing the World' strategy. By integrating our water, waste and energy businesses, we have better positioned ourselves to tackle the key environmental issues of our time – climate change, resource scarcity and energy costs.

"It's an exciting time; we are pioneers with the opportunity to champion real change and I very much look forward to advancing the major progress Veolia has made as a producer of resources, and a strategic partner in helping its customers solve the sustainability issues they face.”
