Further to your recent news story ‘Thames Water may not replace departing HR director’ (Personnel Today, 13 February) I can confirm that our interim HR director is Kathryn Riley.
We are in the process of recruiting a permanent HR director and the role is not, and never has been, at risk.
At the time of enquiry, we were only unable to confirm who would be filling the role permanently, and not whether the role was to be continued.
Hilary Bennett, press office, Thames Water
