Yorkshire Water appoints Chief Financial Officer

Yorkshire Water, and its ultimate parent company Kelda Holdings Ltd, has announced that Chris Johns will join the company as Chief Financial Officer with effect from 1 June 2020.

Chris Johns is currently Finance Director of Northumbrian Water Limited, a role he has held since January 2013.
