John Lewis - A Continuing Relationship
A CONTINUING RELATIONSHIP ......
The John Lewis Partnership, one of the top 10 UK retailers, has maintained its faith in the ETC technology with a rolling program of installations across the country, in both stores and staff facilities. 
A number of residential clubs offering subsidised holiday accommodation to Partners with at least three years service are owned by the JLP. Two of these in the south of England - Brownsea Castle in Poole Harbour, Dorset and the Odney Club in Berkshire - have been fitted with Scalewatcher ENiGMA units.
Brownsea Castle, also called Branksea Castle, is a mid 16th century square blockhouse built by Henry VIII to guard the entrance to Poole Harbour. It was renovated during the 19th century as an impressive residence but was badly damaged by fire in 1895. Brownsea Island, a haven for wildlife and an area of exceptional natural beauty, has been the responsibility of the National Trust since 1961 and the castle then leased to the John Lewis Partnership. The 30 bedrooms of the Castle are offered to the Partners at a reduced cost for holidays. ETC have provided units for cottages and the laundries.
The Odney Club in Berkshire is near to the company Winter Hill Golf Club. The club has a conference centre and apartments and cottages. Scalewatcher ENiGMA units have been installed in the homes of two of the onsite staff as well as the kitchens and conference centre.
The initial installation at the Waitrose supermarket in Caversham has lead to an ongoing relationship between JLP and ETC as the latter is specified as a provider of water treatment in Waitrose stores across the country, responding sometimes at very short notice, supplying an effective, sustainable, environmentally friendly solution to the problems of hard water.
