PMA Crowned Best Supplier at WWEM 2022

At this year’s Water, Wastewater and Environmental Monitoring (WWEM) conference in Telford, a number of awards were given out for excellence in various aspects of water monitoring. To learn a little more about their products, partnerships and why they came to WWEM, EnvirotechOnline took a walk around the exhibition floor to talk to some of the nominees. 

On the second day of the show, we spoke to Tom Lendrem, Sales Director at PMA Ltd, about the project for which they won the award for Best Supplier Service.

“In partnership with Yorkshire Water, our raw water management and source selection project aimed at enabling a better understanding of source water around the Nidderdale area. Using s::can sensors distributed out in the catchment, Yorkshire Water can choose which source they’re going to treat in order to produce the highest possible water quality for their customers. We’ve been providing them with a lot of expertise on UV-Vis spectroscopy and getting accurate readings across multiple wavelengths, all to better understand the nature of the organics in the different sources. This is what their technical team needs in order to be able to choose the right source of water. We’re incredibly grateful to both Yorkshire Water and Northern Ireland Water for their nominations for the prestigious Best Supplier Service award.”

Finally, we asked Tom about the value of WWEM for a firm like PMA.

“PMA come to WWEM because it’s the best show for the water industry in the UK. We see all of our friends and competitors. A lot of our water utility customers come to WWEM, too, as it’s probably the only opportunity that they get to engage with all their suppliers in one go. So, for us, it’s a no-brainer to come.”

In 2024, WWEM will return bigger and better, graduating to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham. For information on exhibiting at WWEM 2024, click here.
