Jonathan Brown, who will be chairman of the company, said: “For us, this merger is entirely logical, as Justeau has grown rapidly into an important customer for our business. This merger gives us greater opportunities to provide a range of contract packing services to new and existing clients.”
Simon Hardy, who built the Justeau business with David Diggens, will take up the role of MD of the merged business.
“The reputation of Fonthill is widely regarded in the marketplace for quality and service,” said Hardy. “We’re really excited at the prospect of continuing to work with Jonathan Brown and his team at Fonthill to provide real benefits to all our customers.”
Fonthill Waters will continue to develop contract packing from its Fonthill Bishop site in Wiltshire, one of the best-equipped filling plants in the UK.
Fonthill Spring Water is available in a range of returnable polycarbonate bottle sizes as well as an extensive range of non-returnable PET bottles. A recent innovation at Fonthill has been the development of flavoured water for water coolers – a UK first.
