WATER FIRM IS FACING ONGOING CRITICISM

SWW boss given 58% rise in pay

UNDER-FIRE water firm Pennon has revealed its chief executive saw her pay package jump by 58% after picking up a £298,000 shares bonus - despite seeing pollution incidents nearly double last year at South West Water, which it owns.

Pennon's annual report revealed that chief executive Susan Davy's total pay jumped to £860,000 in 2023/24, from £543,000 the previous year.

The report mentioned that, although she renounced an annual bonus which could have yielded £237,000 in both cash and shares, Ms Davy did receive an extended performance award. This sum must be held for a two-year period, and then re-invested in Pennon's stocks.

The revelations about executive pay come at the same time as the group also revealed a shocking increase in pollution incidents at South West Water last year, which jumped by 80% to 194 in 2023.
