The company said Lockwood’s “passion” drove the firm forward. He left Ty Nant in the early 1990s, but company director Nick Taylor said his vision led to it becoming an international exporter.
“Geoff Lockwood was one of the original team who created Ty Nant Spring Water Ltd,” he said. “His passion, enthusiasm and pure persistence drove the company forward. He was one of that rare breed, a natural entrepreneur, a doer, positive and persuasive, an ideas man. His vision took this cottage industry producer to international exporter of prominence within a very short space of time and with modest resources.
“He really did put his unique stamp on the British bottled water industry. I speak for all here who knew and worked with him, when I say he will be sorely missed.”
