Our new champion had this to say:
"It's a great honour to be chosen for an award by valued colleagues from across the country. CIRIA are as ever at the very forefront of sustainable surface water management. I very much look forward to working with them in the future, particularly as Wales enacts & adapts our new SuDS legislation."
