Hello again,
Things are always changing in business and Waterwell is no exception.
Over the last couple of years we have completely turned Waterwell on its head and redesigned it for the 21st Century.
In a previous blog, I told you about how we had just moved the business "to the cloud" and that each engineer then carried an iPad and iPhone with all the information that they need to get the job done.
There is no doubt that moving to the cloud has proved to be a huge success; it has increased our productivity by minimising the amount of time the Engineers are sitting in traffic (which makes them happy), it has improved the service that we provide (which makes our customers happy) and it enables us to be more customer-focused and responsive. Everyone's a winner and we're now even invoicing and ordering product that way too.
We have also completely revamped our Garden Irrigation Maintenance Service to provide a more comprehensive offering to our customers and as a result we have seen past customers, that we had lost touch with, come back to us.
Lastly, we've got a great team who spend all their working time looking after Waterwell customers, garden designers, architects and developers and they are led by our two Operational Directors; Nick Ryan (pictured right) who looks after installations and Mark Braendler (pictured above) who runs the Irrigation Maintenance Service.
So, if you need to discuss your garden irrigation or garden lighting requirements then call the office on 020 8742 8855 and let us help you out.
Hello again,
It's been exciting but Waterwell have installed the irrigation system in the brand new Sumatran Tiger Enclosure at London Zoo.
Costing £3.6m the new Tiger Territory is five times the size of the previous enclosure and includes trees, high platforms and even a custom pool for the Tigers to relax in as they love a bit of water.
The green space was designed by the successful Garden Designer, James Aldridge who certainly had to put his thinking cap on in order to come up with something that not only suited the atmosphere of a tiger enclosure but is able to thrive in the changeable British climate - definitely not your usual garden design brief.
However, the new enclosure is a success and the results speak for themselves - the new Tiger Territory is now London Zoo's flagship attraction.
Purr-fect

Hello again
Last year must rank highly as one of the worst summers we've ever had.
It started so promisingly that you couldn't have imagined how it might pan out from there. It's easy to forget that after a dry winter before, it was really warm and dry until the end of March last year, so much so that the water companies were panicking and the hosepipe ban was introduced at the beginning of April. That proved to be the catalyst that triggered the rain, and crikey did it rain last summer. It rained almost incessantly, right through to the end of the year with, as I can recall, only two separate weeks of nice weather in that nine month period.
This year, by contrast, has started out in a more traditional pattern, with a wet early winter followed by a cold start to the year. We also seem to be proving the old adage that says "March comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb" and it certainly has been a colder that usual start to March but now the weather is starting to improve. If we were then to continue to have a traditional year then next we have a nice Spring, we'll get April showers and then perhaps a traditional British summer, the kind of summer you remember from your youth - warm breezes, summer sunshine and evenings in the garden.
Here's hoping...
Until next time...
