– the Ferny Hills , Caloundra , Peregian Beach and Pt Cartwright reservoir artwork projects have engaged whole communities and at the same time turned bland concrete reservoirs into bright pieces of eye-catching public art .
On the lighter side of social engagement , Unitywater is reaching its future customers through their universal passion , sport . “ We are distributing tens of thousands of Unitywaterbranded drink bottles through sporting clubs and we want every child in the region to have one . We also sponsor scoreboards at small locally run football and cricket grounds . We are keen to be seen as part of the fabric of the community .” Another initiative in the pipeline is to allow each of Unitywater ’ s employees the opportunity to take a day out on full pay to volunteer with local charities and community organisations .
There ’ s a sound business case for all these initiatives , George Theo concludes . Inclusiveness , of employees and customers , is part of his vision for the company , reflecting the way he wants it to be positioned .
“ We are an innovative company with energetic and passionate people who are always challenging the status quo . We want to continue to deliver minimal price increases through efficiencies and operational excellence .”
“ We may be the only water partner our customers have for now , but that could change , so we treat our customers as if they could walk out at any point in our relationship . We ’ d like our customers to become our advocates so that when things go wrong , as they sometimes do , they will say that Unitywater is an excellent company that puts things right , listens , and always responds positively .”
Theo says : “ We want to be different and we are keen to create something special at Unitywater that everyone can be proud of .”
