Rural Enterprise Feature Profile: `Receau Ltd' - Barrie and Debra Jackson's business

摘要

ab:Debra and Barrie have been involved for some time in a Christian charity, "Water Gives Life", which builds wells in Africa. Perhaps more than anything else, this involvement informed their thinking on the importance of water, and just what we, in the prosperous west, do with it. Gradually the idea for re-using and harvesting water began to take shape as a business, and was ultimately realised as Receau Ltd. Each aspect of Receau delivers a credible reason to succeed:a solid ethical foundation based in environmental stewardship of resources; a compelling financial model, where benefits are shared between supplier and purchaser; and a future-facing enterprise ready to integrate manufacturing and technological innovations into their product design. In looking to the future, Receau believes that it is the start of a trend in the UK to bring ethical and environmentally productive services and products into the larger public arena. By focusing, not just on sales for thecompany but, seeking to reach the future farmers, growers, horticulturalists etc. through participation in college courses, Receau continues to demonstrate a dynamic approach to business.
