United Utilities Chairman, Sir David Higgins said: "We are delighted Marina
will be joining the Board. Marina has extensive experience both as an audit
chair and as a former FTSE 250 Chief Financial Officer working across multiple
sectors including infrastructure, energy, telecoms and media/technology. Her
executive career has given her a strong background in major project delivery
working with multiple stakeholders including government and regulatory bodies.
Marina's non-executive experience has afforded her insight into strategy and
governance that, combined with her financial experience, will serve to further
strengthen the Board's expertise. I look forward to welcoming Marina to the
Board."

Foundation and Chair of the Audit, Risk and Investment Committee and a Trustee
of The Woodland Trust. She will be appointed as a non-executive director of
