One water boss wins greatest Brit award

one%20water%20bottle.gifI just thought I’d give a bit of cred to the One water co. whose boss, Duncan Goose, was voted the winner in the Campaigner category at the first ever ITV Greatest Living Britons 2007 ceremony last week. TV viewers of the ceremony also voted the Queen as the Great Living Briton, which I think is quite charming, to use a royal phrase. Duncan Goose on the other hand is the king of campaigns, literally giving up his day job to start Global Ethics, which culminated in One water.

It’s the non-profit brand which donates all proceeds to providing clean drinking water in Africa. I just thought we ought to know that all those who have bought a bottle have contributed to providing clean, safe drinking water for at least 77,500 people. Within three years of the product’s launch 31 water PlayPumps™ have been funded. This year sales are expected to top £1 million – allowing a PlayPump to be built every fortnight. Wow! Nice to know that Brits celebrate good people as well as the famous.
