WAVE grows SME customers with new contract wins across key sectors
National water retailer Wave has had its most successful period of trading and growth this summer, following a series of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) business wins.
These wins span key areas of opportunity for Wave, from leisure and hotels to sports. New partnerships with businesses based across the UK include Stoke Park Country Estate, Durham Cricket Club, Blackpool Football Club, Hunstanton Golf Club and Wyboston Lakes Resort.
Over the past year, Wave has seen a 25% increase to its leisure and hotel customers alone, and the business’s overall growth has cemented its position as the largest water retailer in England by consumption.
Wave supports over 300,000 businesses, from SMEs to large organisations, to drive down water usage and lower their utility bills. More businesses are choosing Wave to help them achieve more responsible water use, as business costs and pressure on UK water resources continue to grow. Wave’s experience in efficiencies makes it a particularly valuable partner to businesses in the UK’s most water-intensive industries.
Lissa Wood, Director of SME Customers at Wave, said: “We’re seeing strong momentum from SMEs as more businesses recognise the value that effective water management can deliver, as rising operational costs and increasing sustainability expectations mean businesses are looking for practical ways to reduce consumption, improve efficiency and save money.
“These new partnerships demonstrate the breadth of sectors where we can make a real difference, from hospitality and retail through to sport and manufacturing. But businesses aren’t just choosing Wave for our expertise in achieving more responsible water use, our focus on customer experience is a huge draw too.
“With an estimated 5 billion litres of extra water to be needed in the UK per day by 2055, it has never been more important for businesses to understand the role they can play when it comes to saving water. Businesses of all sizes can take control of their water usage by working with a partner who will support them to understand their usage better and help them to use water more wisely. Wave is committed to helping our customers to become more water efficient and build sustainability into their operations for the future.”
Wave recently announced that it’s helped businesses to save 10.4 billion litres of water in the last five years, which is the equivalent of approximately 4,160 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
