History

Headquartered in Stoke on Trent,[2] Water Plus Limited was incorporated as a 50/50 joint venture between United Utilities and Severn Trent water following approval by The Competition and Markets Authority in May 2016.[3][4] The company name was changed to Water Plus Group Limited in December 2016.[5]

Water Plus was established to service the deregulated English business water market from 1 April 2017[6] as well as the Scottish business water market, which was deregulated on 1 April 2008.[7]

In June 2018 it was announced[8] that Water Plus's first CEO, Sue Amies-King, in role since March 2016, had been replaced by Andy Hughes, formerly of Severn Trent water.

Activities

Water Plus employs 500 people and serves more than 366,000[9] business customers, making it the largest business water retailer in England.[10]
