## History

Headquartered in [Stoke-on-Trent](/source/Stoke-on-Trent),[2] Water Plus Limited was incorporated as a 50/50 joint venture between [United Utilities](/source/United_Utilities) and [Severn Trent](/source/Severn_Trent) water following approval by The [Competition and Markets Authority](/source/Competition_and_Markets_Authority) in May 2016.[3][4][5]

Water Plus was established to service the deregulated English business water market from 1 April 2017[6] as well as the Scottish business water market, which was deregulated on 1 April 2008.[7]

In June 2018 it was announced[8] that Water Plus's first CEO, Sue Amies-King, in role since March 2016, had been replaced by Andy Hughes, formerly of Severn Trent Water.
