Yorkshire Water chief Nicola Shaw quits after lowest green rating

Yorkshire Water chief executive Nicola Shaw will step down on 1 January, just 24 hours after the Environment Agency gave the company its lowest possible environmental rating. Shaw, who has led the firm since 2022, faced criticism over pay, including £1.9m in undisclosed payments between 2023 and 2026. She will be replaced by Nicola Medalova, formerly of National Grid.
