80 Years, 80 Voices: Spotlighting ELIQUO HYDROK, Institute of Water Affiliate

As part of our 2025 #80YearsofIWater campaign, we’re proud to be running a storytelling series called “80 Years, 80 Voices.” For this contribution, we’re sharing a blog authored by IWater Affiliate, ELIQUO HYDROK.

ELIQUO HYDROK is part of a global network of companies that strive to protect our most precious resource; water.

As a leading water engineering solutions company, working alongside all the major water utility companies in the UK and Ireland, ELIQUO HYDROK provides innovative, environmentally considerate, cost-effective and practical solutions. With an extensive portfolio of products and solutions (for wastewater management, wastewater treatment, clean water treatment, surface water management and sludge treatment), we bring a wealth of project experience and learnings.

With established teams in Cornwall, Wolverhampton and Wombwell, ELIQUO HYDROK are well-equipped to support operations – from start to finish; with design, manufacture, management and install capabilities – across the UK and Ireland. This wealth of in-house expertise is backed by a forward-thinking mindset to help customers achieve their long-term goals sustainably; to deliver results in AMP 8 and beyond.

Alongside the Institute of Water and fellow members, much of what we do aims to reduce harmful impacts on the water environment as much as possible… It’s what drives us. ELIQUO HYDROK has been a proud Company Affiliate with IWater for over 12 years and it’s fantastic to share in the 80th anniversary celebrations.

Now more than ever, it’s important for Water Companies to be part of the conversation and pull together to ensure the long-term success of the water sector. Membership with the Institute of Water facilitates these important discussions through focus groups, conferences and webinars.

Most recently, colleagues attended the IWater webinar ‘The Cunliffe Review: A Turning Point for the Industry?’ This particular conversation is, of course, significant for all of us across the water industry as the findings of the Cunliffe Review have far-reaching implications. Knowledge sharing in the industry is vital to enable all UK water professionals to deepen our understanding, strive towards positive change and deliver better outcomes for our customers and the environment.

Peter Wroe, Managing Director and individual member of IWater, commented:

“IWater’s webinar enabled a timely discussion with industry leaders on the key findings, their implications, and whether this could mark the beginning of the transformative change we’ve all been anticipating. Whilst everyone recognised the enormity of the challenges ahead, I think the overwhelming message was one of hope – we are all here for the right reasons and want the sector to succeed, so it’s up to us to do our part.

I’m looking forward to connecting with peers at the Annual Conference later this year in Plymouth. The theme is all about driving actionand gaining practical insights to help us, as an industry, turn our ambition into impact. Eliquo Hydrok are proud to be a part of the change and we look forward to continuing the conversation.”
