Wenlock Spring - A Water-Shed Moment Celebrating 25 Years in Business

And it's silver for Wenlock Spring! The family-owned company behind Wenlock Spring's award winning and ethically conscious still and sparkling water are celebrating 25 years in business. And to mark the milestone Wenlock Spring's glass bottles have a celebratory new look.

Spring-ing into action
It began just over a quarter of a century ago, simply as an idea for diversification. Today the name Wenlock Spring is synonymous with premium quality and fine dining. Wenlock Spring sources its water - and its name - from a spring which dates back to the 11th century, situated in an area of Special Scientific Interest on the stunning Wenlock Edge in the heart of rural Shropshire. It is here, just as nature intended, that spring water in its purest form is sourced. In 25 years, the business has enjoyed an incredible journey - gaining an enviable reputation, first class clients and many awards along the way. Wenlock Spring is also a staunch supporter of many charities - national and international - and is an avid messenger on the importance of drinking water.

A rather splashing new look
Wenlock Spring have created new bottle tops especially for the occasion, in specially-chosen anniversary colours. Blue tops with the 25-year logo now complete the glass bottle of still spring water, and silver tops with the 25-year logo adorn the glass bottles of sparkling spring water. These bottles will now be gracing the tables of some of the finest restaurants across the UK.
