The Water Regulation Approval Scheme (WRAS) has appointed Jamie Lynch as business development manager.
Jamie brings more than 12 years’ experience of working in the water industry to WRAS, having joined Bristan Group as a graduate mechanical engineer back in 2011. Since then, Jamie has progressed through various roles with the shower, bath and taps manufacturer as supplier quality engineer, technical manager, and most recently as Bristan’s product vompliance and data manager, for which he managed a team responsible for obtaining all product approvals.
Jamie said: “Having known WRAS as a customer for many years, I’m excited to join the team and to have the opportunity to draw upon my experience to make meaningful changes and improvements that will hopefully enhance the scheme for others.”
Jamie’s immediate priority will be the communication of planned updates to several approval submission processes including direct submission to the application assessing team, which are due to be launched in 2024 and will improve Tap and Shower applications.
Jamie added: “As WRAS prepares to implement these changes in 2024, I will be supporting customers to address any issues and to guide them through the new process and gain the necessary testing and WRAS approvals. The new process will benefit all customers by giving them early feedback direct from WRAS about their application and test requirements. This will help to resolve any issues identified early on.”
