Southern Water Southern Water is responsible for delivering clean, fresh water to about one million households in Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight. The company also treats and recycles dirty water from nearly two million households. It employs almost 2,000 people to keep these services running 24 hours every day.
Southern Water has sponsored South & South East In Bloom since 2002 and its support has enabled the competition to grow by 400% since.
Director of Communications Geoff Loader says, “Sponsoring and supporting South & South East in Bloom is a natural step for us to take because we completely identify with the environmental concerns when judging entries for this established, high profile campaign. Like South & South East in Bloom, we want to encourage people to make this corner of England a bright, colourful, and pleasant place to live, but we want to make sure that’s done with care and prudent use of a valuable resource.”
Experienced communications professionals work with South & South East In Bloom’s chairman and co-ordinator to ensure the sponsorship delivers Southern Water's objectives, advising on media and marketing, as well as staging and managing the annual awards presentation event.
