West Country Drainage Services Ltd, a family-run firm based in Bridgwater, Somerset, is celebrating major recognition after being named a finalist in multiple categories across two prestigious regional and national awards.
The company’s achievements are seen as a “huge testimony” to their commitment to service and sustainability.
National Drainage Awards Recognition
The firm has been shortlisted in two key categories at the National Drainage Awards, with winners set to be announced at a ceremony at Charlton Football Club in London, hosted by Jim Davidson.

West Country Women Awards Finalists
Following an announcement ceremony at Powderham Castle, the Bridgwater firm secured two additional finalist spots at the West Country Women Awards, chosen from over 2,060 entries. Former ITV presenter Alexis Bowater led the announcement ceremony.
The finalists are:
- Leanne Jeanes (West Country Drainage Services Ltd) for the Woman in Property and Construction Award.
