The Chit Chat: May Momentum

During the latest Chit Chat, Shashi reflected on the successful wrap of the FY27 business planning rollout - a significant milestone for the organisation and one that sets the tone for the year ahead. It was an opportunity to step back and recognise the collective effort behind the process, as well as the energy and curiosity that shaped the conversations throughout. Shashi also highlighted the upcoming particularly busy and high-profile period for Skewb. From the Gas Industry Awards to the build-up to Utility Week Live, alongside Nic’s outgoing presidency at IGEM and the exciting double WUN nominations, it’s been a month that reflects both the reach and impact of the business across the sector. On a more personal note, Shashi shared insights into life beyond work - from his ongoing fitness journey to navigating exam season in the Seshadri household. Looking ahead, the message was clear: momentum matters. As we move through May, the focus is on carrying forward the energy of the past month and translating plans into consistent, purposeful action - ensuring we continue to deliver, together.

Women in Water – Voices to Glasgow: Control Rooms, Collaboration and the People Powering Water

In this episode, we kick off a special podcast series looking ahead to the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition 2026, featuring women from across the water sector exploring what’s changing and what matters most. Hosted by Christina Savvas, and joined by Gill Edwards and Jasmin Kamal from Skewb, alongside Katrina Coulson from Yorkshire Water, the conversation dives into the realities of modern control rooms, operational decision‑making, and the growing role of digital transformation in managing risk, incidents and customer impact. The discussion goes beyond technology to centre on people: careers into water from unexpected places, the importance of diversity and inclusion, and why collaboration across organisations – and across borders – has never been more important. With an early look at the interactive Operations Challenge planned for Glasgow and led by Skewb, alongside reflections on why Congress 2026 is a once‑in‑a‑career moment for the sector, this episode sets the tone for a global conversation about purpose, resilience and the future of water.

Skewdio 200

Two hundred episodes. A milestone built on curiosity, conversation and a commitment to keep learning. Skewdio isn’t just a podcast. It’s a space for reflection, for sharing, and for growth. A place where ideas are explored, perspectives are challenged, and progress is shaped through conversation. Over 200 episodes, one thing has become clear: Learning doesn’t just happen in training rooms. The most powerful insights often come from unexpected voices. Growth comes from challenge, not comfort. Knowledge only compounds when it’s shared. This journey has always been about people. Through the Skewber experience, we’ve seen learning come to life, from personal development journeys to new ambitions being shaped for the future. Because this isn’t just about what’s been learned. It’s about what comes next. As we look ahead, the focus remains the same: stay curious, keep learning, and keep the conversation moving forward.
