Holywell Water Company Brings Malvern Water Back to Life
21 February 2012
The original Malvern water will be quenching the thirst once
again as The Holywell Water Company Ltd gains the right to use the famous
township in its branding.
The Holywell Water Company is now delighted to announce the
subtle yet highly signifcant rebranding of its bottled still and sparkling
spring water to Holywell Malvern Spring Water!
The Holywell Water Company has produced Holywell Spring
Water, which is sold in some of the finest hotels, restaurants and castles in
the country, since 2009 from the original spring in the heart of the Malvern
Hills, Worcestershire, but has been unable to use the word ‘Malvern’ in any branding
until now.
Water from the original Holywell spring in Malvern was first
commercially bottled by Schweppes in 1843 and continued there for 54 years
until the company moved production to a different site in 1897. Coca-Cola took over Schweppes and continued
to produce Malvern Water from this site until the brand was dropped in 2010.
The Holywell Water Company took ownership of the original
Malvern spring and 19th century building used by Schweppes in 2009, but despite
bottling fresh spring water from this source the company was unable to use the
iconic town in its branding.
Rhys Humm, Director of The Holywell Water Company, said:
“I’m hugely excited about our subtle name change. The Holywell spring is indisputably the original
source of Malvern water so it is fantastic that we can now include the
prestigious Malvern name in our branding.”
He added: “It’s important that water from Malvern is still
bottled and that the name and association is not lost forever. Our solicitors have done some fabulous work
in registering this trademark and I hope that the public will be as happy as we
are that we can use the term Malvern in relation to our pedigree water.”
The Holywell Water Company will be showcasing its newly
branded bottles for the first time at the Hotelympia trade show at ExCeL, London , from the 26 February
- 1 March.
The company has also taken this opportunity to include a QR
code on its labelling which will take users on a video tour of the Holywell
spring.
