Water retailer Business Stream has been awarded a new water supply contract with international real estate adviser Savills.

Edinburgh-based Business Stream has been working in partnership with the company since the Scottish retail water market opened in 2008.

In recent years, Business Stream has worked with Savills to develop a unique service offering that meets the specific water requirements of complex customer portfolios held by managing agents, such as when there is a change of tenancy.

Under the new agreement, worth over £800,000 per year, Business Stream will provide water and wastewater services to over 200 of the sites that Savills manage, across both Scotland and England.

Shaun Greenwood at Savills commented:

“Our focus going forward will be to work with Business Stream to build on our water efficiency efforts to date, helping us to meet our sustainability ambitions”.

Jo Dow, Chief Executive, Business Stream, added:

“We pride ourselves on developing strong partnerships with our customers and Savills is no exception. We are delighted that they have agreed to renew their partnership with us and we’re looking forward to working with them to identify further environmental and financial savings.”

Business Stream is the largest operator in the Scottish non-domestic water market. Headquartered in Edinburgh, it also has offices in Glasgow, Worthing and Bradford, and employs over 400 members of staff.
