Health & wellbeing retailer Holland & Barrett is to switch all its water and wastewater requirements to Anglian Water Business (AWB) with a three-year wide contract covering the whole of England and Scotland.
Already an Anglian Water Business customer in Scotland and the Anglian region, Holland & Barrett has decided to consolidate all its water and wastewater contracts in England and Scotland with a single supplier across its store, warehouse and office locations following the opening of the competitive English water market in April.
Simon Belton from AWB commented:
“The existing sites we look after for Holland & Barrett already benefit from Active Water Management®, our proactive monitoring service that identifies opportunities for improvement and helps our customers reduce their bills by driving down water consumption and avoiding waste.
“By consolidating its sites under a single contract, Holland & Barrett can roll this approach out across its estates. We will monitor and analyse the consumption across all branches in England and Scotland, making recommendations for reducing usage in order to deliver substantial and sustainable savings for the customer.”
The new contract will include 455 Holland & Barrett sites initially, rising to 650 locations over the contract term.
It is expected to provide immediate cost savings for Holland & Barrett thanks to discounts and tariff optimisation, with further savings to be delivered over the contract term following the implementation of efficiency improvements.
Steve Lowe from Holland & Barrett added:
“We have seen the benefits of Anglian Water Business’ proactive approach across our sites in Scotland and the Anglian region. It was clear that Anglian Water Business could offer us proven high service standards while providing both immediate and long-term savings and we look forward to a smooth transition.”
With the UK government demanding a 50% reduction in storm overflow spills by 2029, the era of reactive management is over. Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025, then environment secretary Steve Reed said, “This Government will cut water companies’ sewage pollution in half by the end of the decade.”
