YORKSHIRE Water has appointed its youngest ever director.
Richard Flint, 35, will take over the reigns of the company's Water Business Unit on August 1, from Charles Firlotte, who has been appointed president and chief executive officer of Aquarion - Yorkshire Water's sister company in the US.
Mr Flint, who is currently manager of the Water Business Unit's west area, began his career with Yorkshire Water in 1992 as a graduate trainee, working in various parts of the business before joining the Water Business Unit four years later. He was subsequently promoted to field operations manager in 1998.
At 35, he will become the youngest member of Yorkshire Water's executive management team, taking one of the most challenging briefs in the company.
