Abstract
Radnor Hills has acquired Highland Spring Group’s production site in Blaen Twyni to support the ongoing strategic growth of the business.

The site has serviced supermarkets in the UK with still, sparkling and flavoured natural source water drinks for several years.

Established in 1990, independent and family-owned, Radnor Hills has a turnover of £64.4 million and produces over 400 million drinks every year. Its brands include a full range of Radnor Hills spring water, Heartsease Farm, Radnor Splash, and their range of school-approved children’s drinks, Radnor Fizz.

William Watkins, founder and managing director of Radnor Hills, said: “This deal represents an important milestone in the growth of our company and will allow us to keep pace with our growing consumer demand.

“The Blaen Twyni site presented us with the ideal opportunity to expand our capacity with a plentiful source of pure natural Welsh spring water, which complements the supply of pure water we already have at our source in Heartsease.

“We’re excited to welcome the highly skilled and dedicated workforce from Blaen Twyni to our Radnor family. The opportunity for us to continue to safeguard jobs in Wales and to offer further employment opportunities to the local area in the fullness of time is extremely important to us.”
