The brief

"We first started using Zip products three years ago,” states Leonard Newcombe, head of administration and facilities. “We got to the point where we were getting through so many kettles it was just ridiculous, not to mention the hazardous and untidy nature of trailing leads. We really needed a mains-fed system that could handle the volume of drinks required.” With up to 170 people in their new office and newly designated tea points within each open-plan floor, Leonard knew a reliable solution was required. “Having used Zip HydroBoil previously, as well as having had recommendations for the Zip HydroTap, we had no hesitation in going with the HydroTap. The taps are ideal as they tick both the functional and aesthetic boxes. It’s also a bonus to be able to say that as a company we are reducing plastic waste. We want to do our bit for the environment and the HydroTaps allow our teams to enjoy drinking water by re-filling their own bottles and not contributing to plastic waste.""
