Water Direct bags Liquiline

Alternative drinking water supplier Water Direct has acquired Dorset-based Liquiline in an undisclosed deal.

Water Direct said a £2.5m investment in its fleet made earlier this year combined with the Liquiline fleet “grows what was already the UK’s largest commercial fleet of dedicated potable water tankers by 80%.”

As part of the acquisition, Liquiline’s managing director Bill Wootten will join Water Direct's leadership team as director of business development.
