Paul Burrows

Chief Executive @Middle Level Commissioners

March, GB

The Middle Level Commissioners have been proudly managing water levels in the Fens since 1862. We are a public authority who provide flood resilience, navigation, land drainage and environmental services for local communities. Our infrastructure provides circa £11 billion of benefits to the local economy. I lead a committed team of circa 40 employees who deliver annual revenue programmes of expenditure of approx £5m, a growing capital programme of approx £200m and also respond to the extremes of weather. We also provide a range of professional consultancy services to over thirty other local Internal Drainage Boards. I am driving a programme of change to help us evolve our customer service, organisational profile, operations and infrastructure to respond to the challenges posed by the climate and nature crisis in a financially responsible manner.
