South West Water boss trebles pay with huge bonus as beaches are shut due to raw sewage pumped into sea
The i says South West Water boss Susan Davy has more than trebled her annual salary with an award of more than £1m in bonus and benefits despite overseeing the closure of beaches after raw sewage was pumped into the sea around Devon and Cornwall.
Ms Davy, who is chief executive of South West Water’s parent company Pennon, is paid a base salary of £456,000, but with her bonus, incentives and benefits the company’s latest set of accounts show her total pay was bumped up to £1.6m.
The boost to her bank account comes as more than a dozen beaches across Devon and Cornwall have been shut due to pollution.
