Chartered Director applicants are expected to show how they perform their duties within the context of the board(s) they sit on, how they practically apply their knowledge and skills and how they go about their duties as director.

They are also assessed on several topics such as purpose, values and ethics, strategic thinking and stakeholder management and accountable leadership during an interview.

Ms Passmore, who won the IoD's 'Young Director of the Year' Award in May 2019, joined Jersey Water in 2010 having worked in a number of commercial roles in Jersey and overseas. 

“I am delighted to have received the Chartered Director status, two of the key elements that I was required to demonstrate were purpose and values and at Jersey Water these are integral to our success as a Company," she said.

"Our Purpose is supplying the water for our Island to thrive today and every day and our values are We Care, We Are Ambitious and We Work Together. I am proud to say that I lead a team who live these values on a daily basis and put the customer at the heart of everything we do.”
