Matrix Water Secures New Appointment and Variation (NAV) License
Matrix Group is excited to announce that its subsidiary, Matrix Water, has become the newest New Appointment and Variation (NAV) provider in the UK water industry. This important milestone marks Matrix Water’s entry into the market for potable water and wastewater network services, delivering tailored solutions to developers and self-lay providers across the country.
This achievement follows extensive compliance testing and collaboration with key industry stakeholders, ensuring Matrix Water meets the highest standards for providing safe drinking water and responsible wastewater management.
A Proud Moment for Matrix Group
Rob Sparkes, CEO of Matrix Group, shared his thoughts on this milestone: “This is a significant accomplishment for the Matrix Water team and everyone across Matrix Group who contributed to the project. Their hard work has paid off, and we’re excited to apply the same level of commitment to our operational and customer service teams as we launch this new service.”
Matrix Water is set to welcome its first customers in the coming weeks, starting with a new residential development in Manchester.
Expanding Matrix Group’s Service Portfolio
Rob continued: “Integrating a NAV business into Matrix Group made perfect sense. Just as we provide tailored electrical network adoption and management services through UK Power Distribution, we now offer the same level of service for water networks. This broadens our customer base and adds another layer to our multi-utility capabilities.”
As a NAV, Matrix Water will partner with Developers and Self-Lay Providers (SLPs) to adopt, own, and operate water and wastewater networks for new build residential developments. This gives developers the flexibility to choose a provider beyond the incumbent, benefitting from a customised, efficient service that includes flexible network design options, proactive legal management, and guaranteed asset value payments.
A Flexible and Nationwide Offering
Matrix Water’s NAV license allows the company to operate across the UK, without the geographic limitations faced by incumbent providers. Subject to the same regulatory standards, Matrix Water brings flexibility and commercial value to each project, ensuring developers and SLPs receive a high level of service at every stage.
Matrix Water’s expert team is well-equipped to manage regulated water and wastewater networks and is eager to explore new opportunities for expanding its portfolio by adopting assets on new residential developments.
