Interesting information about the areas that AquAid South West covers which you may not have been aware of:
Taunton was the first town in the country to be lit permanently by electric street lighting in 1881. This was 12 months before the Electric Lighting Act of 1882 which enforced the switch from oil lamps to electric across the UK.*
Exmoor ponies are believed to have inhabited the moors for tens of thousands of years. There have been fossil remains found in the area that dates them back to 50,000 BC and there are some that claim they have been present there since the Ice Age.
There is also a record of ponies on Exmoor in the Domesday Book of 1086*. Now that’s a bit of staying power right there! Wonder if it had anything to do with the water they drank?
The Day Pelé Came to Plymouth – In 1973 the city’s local football team, Plymouth Argyle, hosted a friendly match against Brazilian side Santos FC, one of the best clubs in the world at the time. Their line-up featured world-renowned player, Pelé. And despite the superstar scoring a penalty, shockingly it was Plymouth Argyle who won.
The Willow Man that can be seen running across a field by the M5 at Bridgwater is made of Somerset willow and is the creation of Serena de la Hey. Built in 2000, it’s known as the ‘Angel of the South’, standing over 40 feet tall. It is there to celebrate how willow has helped to shape the landscape on the Somerset Levels.

AquAid are more than a water cooler provider. Since the company’s humble beginnings in 1998, we’ve committed to support charities that make a noticeable and far reaching difference in other’s lives.
We implement this policy by donating a portion of the sale for each bottle of water and each installed mains fed machine to charity.
Since we began with this policy, we have donated more than £10 million to both Christian Aid and the Africa Trust – a charity begun by AquAid in 2010.
We continuously look for ways to bring the very best in water and water cooler products to our customers as well as highlight the difference that our customers purchases are making in the lives of those in need.
FMP Global is one such customer. As an international provider of outsourced payroll and HR services they are often found supporting companies to pay staff in the 135 countries they serve, often in developing economies around the world.
They are aware of how vitally important it is to keep hydrated throughout the working day, and recently agreed to participate in an initiative which will mean the provision of safe drinking water to a community in need through the building of a water well, fondly known as an ‘Elephant Pump’.
Gary Webb, Marketing and Communications Director at FMP Global: “Partnerships are really important to us and we’re grateful for the opportunity to work with Aquaid to support this initiative. Our success at FMP Global is built on innovation, and we fully support AquAid’s innovative approach to funding these vital projects.”
We’re delighted to have FMP Global take part in this initiative and look forward to sending them a picture of their built and named well in due course.
