Background
A major UK water board – one of the country’s leading water utility companies – partnered with Shenton Group to oversee all critical power infrastructure across multiple sites. As a trusted name in the UK utility sector, Shenton Group was chosen for its ability to deliver seamless, reliable power through turnkey generator solutions, including rapid-response generator for hire services and long-term maintenance support.
Project Overview
The water utility provider faced rising costs and operational inefficiencies due to working with multiple suppliers for different power-related services. As a regulated utility with strict performance standards and a customer-first ethos, they required a smarter, more integrated solution.
Following a full-site power review, Shenton Group was awarded the contract to deliver a unified power strategy tailored to the needs of water boards and public utility companies. This included:
- Supply of new standby generators at strategic pumping and treatment facilities
- National generator servicing contracts across the UK, combining multiple legacy agreements into a unified service plan
- Flexible generator hire options available for emergency outages, seasonal demand, and planned maintenance activities
Our bespoke solution helped reduce supplier complexity and ensured full compliance with regulatory and environmental expectations.
Outcome
Over five years, this partnership has become a leading example of how to keep power systems reliable and uninterrupted in the UK water utility industry. By combining generator hire services with maintenance and new equipment supply, Shenton Group has ensured uninterrupted operations across all of the client’s sites, delivering comprehensive support through a single point of contact.
Today, we continue to support this leading UK water board with fast-response rentals, long-term servicing, and environmentally conscious generator solutions – all tailored to the evolving needs of modern utility companies.
