Jersey Water has announced that Paul Masterton will be the next Chair of its Board of Directors.
Mr Masterton has more than two decades of board-level experience. His career spans senior leadership roles and he has held multiple chair roles across public sector organisations, infrastructure and financial services.
In his new role, Mr Masterton will oversee the delivery of Jersey Water’s strategy, working closely with the leadership team and engaging with key stakeholders to ensure that the company continues to provide its critical public service for the Island.
He will join the Board on 1 October, when the firm unveils its five-year strategy to 2030, which will “set a clear direction for safeguarding the Island’s water supply for the future”.
He will succeed Heather MacCallum, who will be standing down after completing her nine-year term.
“Paul’s leadership and governance expertise offers a deep understanding of Jersey’s political, economic and community landscape,” said Helier Smith, Jersey Water’s Chief Executive.

He continued: “His experience and values clearly align with our purpose and priorities, and we are confident that he will help us deliver lasting value and impact for the Island we serve.”
Mr Masterton added: “Jersey Water’s upcoming strategy will set a clear vision for the future of our Island’s water supply: strengthening our infrastructure, protecting our water quality and delivering value for customers and the wider community, both today and for the future.
“I am looking forward to working with the Jersey Water team to put the strategy into action and ensure that the company keeps providing its essential service for our Island for generations to come.”
