“We are looking forward to building on this successful experience to date, which we believe delivers competitive advantage in both corporate social responsibility and commercial terms. We have seen reports of a slow customer response and questionable impacts of the open water market, but this has not been our experience. While self-supply was a leap into unchartered waters, it has delivered better than expected results in a short timeframe.”

Gavin Worthington, Senior Purchasing Manager at Greene King,

We are looking forward to the future opportunities the self-supply licence offers us in managing our water usage responsibly. We value the expertise Waterscan bring in this specific space within the market and look forward to working in partnership to deliver our sustainability plan.

Waterscan has been instrumental to our water stewardship effort for over a decade and this award acknowledges its continued enthusiasm and innovative approaches to sustainable progress. Self-Supply will enable us to build on the efficiency works already undertaken, whilst driving cost and consumption control in the next phase of our water management strategy.

Sean Lavis Senior Procurement Manager at Whitbread

We have always taken our responsibilities as a business very seriously. Having firmly embedded waste reduction principles and procurement processes in our business, we now turn our attention to water. We are excited by the possibilities that the open market offers us and trust Waterscan’s considerable expertise and data insight to guide us toward optimising water consumption and cost savings throughout our English restaurant portfolio.

Through working with Waterscan, we have secured the best deal possible whilst ensuring all our key supply criteria have been satisfied. Waterscan tailored the tendering process to fit existing Tesco procurement practices ensuring it integrated smoothly with our usual systems. They utilised their deep insight into water company charging structures to assist with shortlisting and the final selection of supplier.

Working with Waterscan, we designed a bespoke greywater recycling system that incorporated innovative features to ensure system reliability and guarantee customer experience was not affected. The system is producing great results, reducing our reliance on mains water considerably. We are now designing all our own new hotels in the region with greywater recycling technology.
