The new contract will extend this efficiency-led approach to the whole MRH network, delivering those financial and environmental benefits across all sites.

“This is the first time we have put all sites in England and Scotland under a single water contract, and we anticipate considerable time-saving and management benefits in addition to the efficient service and competitive pricing we know Wave can deliver.”

Lucy Darch, the CEO of Wave, commented: “For multi-site customers with as many locations as MRH, it is important to know that their chosen water retailer will offer an efficient service, accurate billing and a proactive approach to driving down costs and water consumption.

“We have demonstrated to MRH that we can deliver in all these areas across their Scottish network, and we’re delighted that they have now chosen to trust us with their English sites too.”
