Gloucester Rugby is proud to extend their hydration partnership with the Water Coolers Direct (WCD) Group – as part of its sustainability strategy.

A variety of environmentally friendly drinking water solutions that provide chilled and filtered water have been installed at Kingsholm Stadium for fans, staff and the players to use.

Based on Gloucester Business Park, the WCD Group has installed several high capacity, plumbed in refill water dispensers, bar taps and chillers in high footfall areas in the stadium bars (Stowford Press Clubhouse and Lion’s Den), the newly named Cooper Associates 1873 Lounge and Reception for use on match days and for conference delegates. Water coolers are also in use at the club’s training ground for players to refill sports bottles and stay hydrated.

Pete Glanville, managing director at the WCD Group said: “Plastic waste and pollution remain high on everyone’s climate change agenda and refilling a reusable helps offset the staggering 1 million plastic drink bottles that are used globally every minute and mostly end up in landfill and harming the environment and oceans.

“By choosing to reuse, Gloucester Rugby fans can refill their cups and reusable bottles with chilled and filtered water that tastes great, for free. We know this will be a popular option and deliver sustainable hydration on match days, in conferencing and hospitality and for the players. We are proud to partner with premiership Gloucester Rugby and showcase our drinking water solutions across Kingsholm.”

Gloucester Rugby Sales Director Huw Warren commented:

“It’s great to be working with former Cherry & White captain Pete Glanville and his Gloucester based business.

“We are always looking to be more sustainable and create less waste and what WCD have offered us helps reduce the use of single use plastic bottles whilst also keeping the players, staff and visitors hydrated.

“We’d like to thank WCD group for what they have brought to our partnership, and we look forward to our relationship continuing to grow in the future.”
