Wight Crystal provides
quality bottled spring water drawn from deep artesian
wells in the central ridge of chalk downs on the Isle
of Wight. Sailors, voyaging across the world's
oceans, would provision their sailing ships with this ‘good
keeping' water, and in 1865 it provided clean water to
the town of Ryde following a cholera outbreak. Favoured
by Nelson and Henry VIII this local product is still
favoured today and is supplied to many Island and mainland
outlets including Condor Ferries, Southampton
Football Club, Tesco and Safeways.
Wight Crystal is the only Island based company bottling
and selling Island drawn water. Since the company was
set up in 1989 it has grown considerably. We are now
becoming the recognised water company for use on the
Island. From our small beginnings, we now supply many
retail outlets, holiday attractions, local events,
businesses and private homes with our wide range of
water and water cooler service.
Wight Crystal is a sheltered workshop and is part
of the Osel charity which gives work placements and
training to people on the Island who are disabled or
disadvantaged. The charity gives people the opportunity
of on-the-job training through Wight
Crystal and its
other enterprises, which helps them enter the employment
market, whilst still being supported and mentored by
Osel.
An alternative side to Wight
Crystal is our Water
Cooler Division. We now supply a vast clientele with
bottled coolers and mains plumbed Point-of-use coolers
with dedicated trained engineers on hand to install
and clean our machines, as well as delivery of our
refill water.
