One of the UK’s largest workspace management and business support service providers has signed up to a new three year water supply and wastewater services contract with Business Stream.
Regus Management (UK), which has 18 sites in Scotland, has renewed its contract with the Edinburgh-based retailer, one of the largest suppliers in the Anglo-Scottish market.
Business Stream will provide Regus with consolidated billing for all of its sites in Scotland and has already helped the company realise over £100,000 of savings during these past two years.
Business Stream will also be providing wider support around water management to help the company achieve further cost and environmental efficiencies, including deploying automated meter readers (AMRs) to help track water use.
Derek Salter, UK Procurement Director, Regus Management (UK) Limited said:
“We value the account management support we’ve received from Business Stream to date and are excited to continue working with them to deliver further water efficiency savings across our portfolio of sites in Scotland.”
Scotland’s non-domestic market, which covers all premises across private and public sector organisations, opened to competition in April 2008. Since then Business Stream customers have saved more than £160 million on their water bills and conserved 24 billion litres of water. Last year the company acquired the non-household customer base of Southern Water, increasing its foothold in England.
James Cardwell-Moore, Commercial Director, Business Stream said:
“We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with Regus. We are working with the company to help them fully realise the financial and environmental benefits available and remain committed to providing a seamless customer experience.”
· Business Stream is the largest operator in the Scottish non-domestic water market. Its most recent profit before tax was £21.8 million from revenue of £281 million. Headquartered in Edinburgh, it also has offices in Glasgow and Worthing, and employs around 350 staff.
· Since retail competition was introduced to Scotland in 2008, Business Stream has saved businesses and public sector organisations more than £160 million and helped them conserve more than 24 billion litres of water.

· The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scottish Water with its own board and independent management team. It was formed in 2006 with the goal of providing a first class service for business customers on the opening of the competitive market.
