About us
Think water’s boring? Think again. Life at Business Stream is fast paced, we are operating in a highly competitive new market, where no two days are the same. We are one of the leading providers of water retail services to businesses across the UK. It’s been an exciting few years for us, we acquired the non-household customer base of Southern Water in April 2017, and in January this year we announced the acquisition of Yorkshire Water’s non-household customer base. We’ve also secured over £250 million of new business and firmly positioned Business Stream as one of the top three water retailers in the UK.
We’re passionate about our people and our customers and we want to make a positive difference to the environment and the communities we live and work in. And that’s why we launched our water efficiency pledge last year, committing to help our customers reduce the amount of water they use by 20%.
