As the Master Elect unfortunately stood down for next year,
the Election Court was reconvened to elect a new Master. Past Master Peter Hall
was duly elected on the basis of votes cast to be installed on 9th
July 2021 at the Installation Court. I would like to thank the candidates who
put themselves forward at short notice and being prepared to give up their free
time to take on the demanding role of Master to ensure this Company continues
to prosper. My thanks also go to Past Master Roger North and our Clerk, Ralph
Riley for putting together the election process in unique circumstances, and to
Deputy Master Mark Lane for professionally conducting a “Meet The Candidate”
session as part of the election. I thought these sessions were extremely useful
in highlighting a number of very positive ideas for the future of the Company,
and my thanks go to everyone who participated.
Peter Hall was previously Master in 2015/16 and has an extensive knowledge of the water sector. After spending 10 years with the National Water Council, Peter was appointed assistant secretary at the newly formed Water Authorities Association, where he dealt with finance and general policy matters, including industry-side logistics for water authority privatisation. Appointed deputy director at the Water Services Association in 1989, Peter spent several years coordinating views on policy issues.
My congratulations go to Peter on his election and as we hopefully come out of the pandemic and return to normal business we are all looking forward to working with Peter to create a very successful future for the Company.
