Investing £100 billion in the UK

With its outstanding track record for performance, long-term vision, and responsible ownership, the Group acquired the UK’s Wessex Water in 2002, with almost three million customers over a wide area of the South West.

It has continued to invest widely in the UK ever since. Under YTL ownership Wessex Water expects to invest more than £3 billion over the next five years on an extensive range of infrastructure projects, and part of an estimated £100 billion UK-wide investment opportunity.

In the UK, YTL also owns GENeco, an award-winning waste to energy business as well as industry-leading customer service businesses and high-end hotels. 

The acquisition and development of a new town on the former Filton Airfield, a 400-acre brownfield site, has established YTL as a leading and award-winning UK developer.
