Hurlingham Club appoints Everflow as water supplier

The Hurlingham Club in London has appointed Everflow as its water supplier, following a competitive tender process conducted by the Grand Union Water Company (Grand Union).

Grand Union, which describes itself as a “water merchant and conservator”, covering all aspects of procurement of water and waste water services in Great Britain said the process uncovered “billing errors” and locked in “certain savings” for the contracted period.
Utility Week understands Everflow is replacing Castle Water as water supplier for the private members’ club which borders the Thames in Fulham.

Peter Sceats, managing director of Grand Union, said: “We were honoured to be appointed by the Hurlingham Club and delighted our tender process delivered cost savings and uncovered a significant billing error.

“We would like to express gratitude to Everflow and the other competitors for participating in this transaction and thank the Hurlingham Club for trusting Grand Union as their water advisor.”

Stephen Powell of the Hurlingham Club, added: “Peter and his team at Grand Union have assisted us in switching supplier. It has been an interesting exercise where we have felt very comfortable with the advice and support provided. We look forward to seeing the anticipated savings, especially from the in-depth work on previous invoicing undertaken as part of this process.”

Everflow claims to be the “fastest growing” water supplier to UK SME businesses. Latest figures from the market operator for England’s non-household water market, MOSL, show more than 10,000 supply points switched to Everflow as of 1 November.

A statement on Everflow’s website, said: “We have made it our priority to look after our customers’ water needs through a focus on technology driven solutions.”

The company supplies water services to businesses including football clubs, bakeries, chemical manufacturers, hairdressers and pubs.
The Hurlingham Club was established in 1839 and is set in 42 acres.
