H2O Water Services

H2O Water Services was formed in 1996. Initial work was based on a single contract with a Yorkshire based utility. H2O aligned its delivery to Yorkshire Water's outsourcing strategy and secured a contract to deliver customer supplies and metering services accross the Yorkshire Region setting up depots in Barnsley and Beverley. Since then it has dev... eloped the range of services it delivers to meet customer demand and priorities. H2O has now worked with most of the major water companies delivering one off specialist contracts, major Framework Agreements and resource support for special projects. In 2003, H2O was acquired by Spice Plc, an AIM listed company under Support Services. Spice was also based in Yorkshire. The company then acquired other water businesses (Atlantic Water and Kemac Services) which have now been merged into the single H2O business. H2O's primary growth area has been focused on Water Meter Services providing billing services, meter reading, meter installations, exchange and maintenance. We now install over 250,000 meters per annum. In 2006, recognising the demand for Leakage Engineers, a Leakage Detection and Water Efficiency division was formed. We are now providing specialist services to many water companies including Anglian Water, Northumbrian Water, Essex & Suffolk Water and South Staffordshire Water. Our services are also in demand overseas and recent project involvement includes a major project in Egypt. Our growth has been based on service and value for money. In 2006/7 we re-secured all our major contracts with extended scope and value. Our reputation has lead to new contract wins with Thames Water, Three Valleys Water and Anglian Water. Our turnover projection for 2008 is £67m a rise of 48%.Read More
