Jo Dow, Chief Executive of Business Stream, said:
“Over the past twelve years we have listened to our customers across the UK and tailored our solutions to meet their needs. Since the introduction of competition in Scotland in 2008 our aim has been to pass on the benefits of competition to businesses by delivering a customer-centric experience, innovative new services and keener pricing. …we have a strong focus on helping our customers to use water efficiently, which will deliver further financial and environmental savings”.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the retailer’s key focus has been protecting its employees and maintaining core services to its customers. Recognising the impact COVID-19 will have on businesses across the country, it has been working pro-actively with the Scottish and UK Government, regulators and wholesaler providers of water to implement additional measures to support those in need.
This includes providing support to businesses that have had to temporarily close; offering a wide range of flexible payment plans and payment support arrangements.
