ABOUT JOSH GILL

Josh is the Founder of Everflow Utilities, a forward-thinking, independent water supplier, providing incredible savings to businesses in England and Scotland. Everflow has gained the largest number of supply points since the English market opened in 2017.Josh started his career in the water industry working as an engineer. After a couple of years he quickly realised that his passion was for making things simpler. As he gained experience he began to notice decisions being made in building new treatment works were often not the optimal solution. The owner of the engineering and cost consultancy firm, Aqua Consultants, recognised Josh’s talent and put him in charge of the northeast division of his business when he was only 23. Within a year he managed to double the turnover of the division, working with clients to produce an industry-first piece of cloud software that automated the majority of the early stage estimation and engineering of construction projects.It was at that point in Josh’s career he knew he would be starting his own company at some point, but hadn’t yet found the home for his passion. This lead him to leave Aqua Consultants to join Northumbrian Water, where he worked to grow their commercial business functions. It was there that Josh learned of the water retail market and positioned himself to be involved in driving the separation of Northumbrian’s business into wholesale and retail businesses. After taking Northumbrian on the journey of setting up its retailer (NWG Business at the time), he presented his growth strategy to the board, which was to make things as simple and automated for customers as possible, utilizing brokers to assist with growth. They ultimately declined to pursue it as aggressively as he saw necessary.At this point, Josh knew his only course of action was to pursue the same strategy on his own. He left Northumbrian Water and bravely approached some of his contacts to help fund what would become Everflow. Josh has been championing customers, employees and the protection of the environment through as many means as possible since day one. He is an integral part in the industry market operator board, MOSL, seeking transformation in the market to enable things like Smart Meter rollouts and increased water efficiency incentives. As a result, he become CEO of the 3rd fastest growing company in Europe, receiving accolades such as “Entrepreneur of the Year” from the Chamber of Commerce, with Everflow achieving an employee Net Promoter Score of +73 and being the first water supplier to become carbon neutral.
