Due to the large geographical area of Severn Trent Water, most GMB members are from the Birmingham & West Midlands Region or the Midlands & East Coast Region. However, we have over 100 members who belong to Yorkshire & North Derbyshire Region.
Most members are based at Bamford, Buxton, Worksop, Ogston, Homesford, Hady and Derby. We are engaged in water treatment, distribution and sewage treatment with lesser numbers in administration and management. We are all part of Chesterfield Number 1 Branch. Our full-time officer is Jon Smith from the Chesterfield Office.

Pay Claim 2020
After difficult negotiations, and noting the change in the economic climate caused by Covid-19, trade unions agreed to accept a 3-year pay settlement of 2.3% each year for 2020 to 2022. This was accepted after a membership consultative survey. The increase will be applied from each July.
