The Power of Water
Published:  11 June, 2009

A recent visit to the home of Harrogate Spa by Brian Tustain, Chief Executive of Associated Vending Services Ltd showed him much more than just the superb range of Harrogate Spa branded water which sells successfully through AVS members machines, but also the Thirsty Planet water which has caught the imagination and support of vending consumers throughout the length and breadth of the UK.

Thirsty Planet Water was launched in March 2007 and nearly £1million has been raised through the charitable contribution made by each purchase to fund water pumps in parts of Africa, namely Malawi and Zimbabwe. The money has been used by the company to fund 3700 water pumps to date, which provides the less fortunate with clean water. Every litre of this product purchase provides over 30,000 litres of clean water.

Brian commented, "We are supporting the brand knowingly and responding to the demands of consumers who are increasingly concerned about social welfare across the planet."

Brian continued "I was delighted to have the opportunity to see a well run branded water business whose owners and management are genuinely passionate and focused about what they do.

"The vending market represents over 6% of their total sales, and this is largely down to the hard work and representation of Alastair Price and his colleagues."
