Water and waste water services provider Brightwater is marking its second year of trading, announcing its current customer portfolio has exceeded £3 million in contracted revenues.

The Musselburgh-based business, which began trading in May 2016, has picked up £1.92 million in new contracts in the last 12 months, taking on management at 1,447 new commercial premises across Scotland in that period.

Among its new customer wins is Glasgow-based Keane Premier Healthcare which runs three care homes in the city. Brightwater will initially provide services at two of its sites in Cambuslang and Rutherglen. Other recent contract wins include national carpark operators Q-park; the Scottish SPCA; Kangaroo Self-Storage and Dublin-based Ogalas Ltd, servicing its Home Store + More retail sites in Scotland.

Brightwater’s business model is based on supporting SMEs across Scotland by delivering cost savings of over £1m in its first three years through competitive pricing, efficiency optimisation and outstanding customer service.

Brightwater describes itself as an “ambitious challenger” to the larger players in the market, providing water and waste water services to businesses in Scotland.

The Scottish company said it works with Scottish companies to save on Scottish Water, commenting:

“We don’t believe in the current ‘switch and forget’ approach to the industry, instead we ‘consult, advise and action’.”

Roger Green, Brightwater’s CEO said:

“It’s been another positive year for the business. We’ve substantially built our contract portfolio which is now valued at £3.1m per year with 2,348 commercial premises being managed across Scotland.

“While the retail water market continues to be dominated by large corporates, things are changing as customers wake up to the benefits of partnering with a responsive and proactive supplier.”

“ Through on-going investment in our team to ensure we maintain excellent service standards, I’m confident we will continue to nurture customer loyalty and grow our business as we strive to become Scotland’s leading retail water service provider.”
