Thirsty Work

From Exeter, Thirsty Work has spent three decades building a business that combines equipment, water supply, and technical support for other organizations. The company dates its beginnings to 1995 and now describes its offer as an end-to-end hydration service: helping customers choose a system, installing and maintaining it, and arranging the deliveries each workplace needs.

Its catalog includes mains-fed dispensers and bottled-water models, in countertop and freestanding versions. The range also includes hot-water dispensers, filtered-water taps, fountains and bottle-filling stations, bottling systems, cups, and accessories. That variety allows the setup to suit a small office as well as a busy shared space.

The company also sells spring water that, it says, is bottled exclusively for Thirsty Work. To reduce reliance on disposable containers, it offers reusable bottles and paper cups, along with mains-fed equipment that filters water on site. Together, these options provide two different ways to keep drinking water available throughout the workday.

Customer service extends beyond installation. The package includes advice on choosing a model, delivery, setup, and a sanitizing and filter-change program. Thirsty Work also advertises a free, no-obligation 10-day trial, giving customers a chance to assess the equipment at their workplace before deciding whether it meets the needs of staff and visitors.

Thirsty Work organizes its services around offices, schools and other education settings, gyms and leisure venues, healthcare facilities, hotels and restaurants, conference spaces, factories, and small businesses. It also serves temporary film, television, and construction sites, where supply has to match a specific production or project. For hospitality, the range includes high-volume taps, filtration, and bottling systems for front-of-house service.

The company says it has built a network of depots and offices to support regional deliveries and servicing. Alongside the Exeter address shown in the practical details, its contact page lists locations at Apple House, Apple Lane, Sowton Industrial Estate, Exeter EX2 7HA; Unit 6, Fields End Farm, Pouchen End Lane, Hemel Hempstead HP1 2SD; Unit 12, Langage South Road, Langage Business Park, Plympton PL7 5FL; and Unit 5 & 6, Newcombe Drive, Hawksworth Industrial Estate, Swindon SN2 1DZ.

The same directory includes Unit 7, Dakota Business Park, Downley Road, Havant PO9 2NJ; Unit 15, Maple Leaf Industrial Estate, Walsall WS2 8TF; 98/7 Eastfield Drive, Penicuik EH26 8HJ; Unit 5–6, Bridge Business Park, Colne Bridge Road, Huddersfield HD5 0RH; and Unit AA, St. Michaels Close, Forstal Industrial Estate, Aylesford ME20 7BU. Exeter remains the company’s central point of contact, and it offers recommendations tailored to each customer’s use, from a single dispenser to a hospitality system.

Thirsty Work’s appeal lies in bringing several kinds of equipment and ongoing tasks together under one service arrangement: bottled water, mains-fed dispensers, installation, filters, and maintenance visits. For an office manager, school, or hotel, the conversation starts with the available space and expected use; the company then prepares a recommendation and a no-obligation quote.
