Purified drinking water systems provider Vivreau will be giving away chest coolers with the first 25 orders placed on its stand at the Northern Restaurant and Bar 2008 show this spring.

In addition to showcasing its eco friendly range, the UK based company will be offering 25 of the complimentary coolers, which are worth £595 each and provide a 300 33cl can capacity for on and off premise applications.

Vivreau’s Table Water Bottling System dispenses chilled, still and sparkling purified water into branded, reusable glass bottles, which can be served in meeting rooms and hospitality areas.

According to Managing Director Stephen Charles, the system is increasing in popularity as firms are looking to address their carbon footprints. “Cost savings used to be the primary driver when companies purchased our mains fed water systems, but we are now seeing that the tide has turned and they are also looking for the green benefits,” he commented.

“We believe our water provides the ideal alternative to bottled water in terms of the green issues, and it is also much more cost effective.”

Vivreau can be found at stand 720 at the show on 7 and 8 April, where it will also be displaying its latest VR3000 and V20 water dispensing solutions.
