Kelda Water Services

Kelda Water Services (KWS) is a leading water and waste water contract operator, delivering large scale and long term solutions in Ireland and across the UK.  KWS’s success comes from being part of Kelda Group – owner of Yorkshire Water, one of the UK’s leading water and waste water companies and Loop, an award winning billing and customer contact centre.  Kelda Group has for many years set the industry benchmark in:

• Innovation and technology
• Operational efficiency
• Asset and capital programme management
• Customer service excellence

KWS has in excess of 200 staff delivering contracts that add real value to the public utilities and government organisations that form our valued client base:  

• Northern Ireland Water – our award winning sites produce 50 percent of  Northern Ireland’s drinking water 
• The Ministry of Defence – we support more than 1,000 MOD sites across England and Wales with water and waste water services
• Scottish Water – we provide innovative waste water solutions across the North East of Scotland.

Common to our success has been the ability to create both efficiencies and significantly enhanced operational performance and compliance. Our operations are underpinned by highly efficient customised IT which enables our assets and people to deliver exceptional performance. Our extensive TUPE, Transfer of undertakings (Protection of Employment), experience was first demonstrated when we transferred hundreds of people from local councils and Welsh Water into an integrated waste water management company for Wales and we repeated this success with each of our other clients.

KWS has also more recently successfully established itself within the renewable energy sector as a highly innovative partner with the capability of providing a range of alternative energy solutions.
