Waterscan is a tech-enabled and ESG-focused water management consultancy.
Founded in 1994, it helps customers to develop effective sustainable water management strategies that deliver business resilience and environmental leadership.
Waterscan’s proprietary technology platform, Waterline, provides real-time data and insights on water management that enable customers to save water and reduce cost. This is supplemented by Waterscan’s end-to-end water solutions approach, including the ability to facilitate adoption of the self-supply model, which provides businesses with complete control of their water.
It employs more than 60 people at its sites in Chichester and Rotherham and advises a UK-wide customer base of blue-chip companies, including household names such as BT, Greene King, Sainsbury’s, John Lewis and Whitbread, the owner of Premier Inn.
Supporting organic growth
In June 2024, LDC backed Waterscan’s existing management team, led by founder and CEO Neil Pendle, Commercial Director Nick Hayes and Operations Director Barry Millar, to support an organic growth strategy underpinned by further investment in technology and consultancy services.
As part of the transaction, Neil Penhall joined the board as Non-Executive Chair. Neil is the former CEO of environmental consultancy SLR Consulting and has more than 35 years’ experience driving international growth in the sustainability sector.
