HT Drinks' own-label brand named official water supplier of Southampton FC

Leading wholesaler HT Drinks' own-label spring water brand, ETONRIDGE, is announced as the official water supplier across St. Mary’s Stadium and Staplewood Training Campus.

This season, Southampton FC will be serving ETONRIDGE across their catering outlets and hospitality lounges at St Mary’s Stadium. It will also be their natural spring water of choice available to the players and staff at Staplewood Training Campus.


Not only will ETONRIDGE be Southampton FC’s official water supplier, but it will also be supporting the club as a regional partner. This partnership will see them featured on the big screen and LED boards at St Mary’s Stadium, as well as sponsoring one of their home league matches for the 2024-25 season.

Mark Unsworth, creative director at ETONRIDGE commented, “The partnership with Southampton FC will provide the brand with excellent exposure and, more importantly, offers a well-balanced form of healthy hydration.”

ETONRIDGE natural spring water is drawn from beneath the hamlet of Bethania in Ceredigion, mid-Wales. Low minerals, high purity, ETONRIDGE is a well-balanced, high quality, natural spring water. The characteristically low mineral content is due to the unique geology and rock formation where the water is drawn from a deeply buried aquifer.

Greg Baker, chief revenue officer at Southampton FC, said, “We’re delighted to be offering ETONRIDGE to our fans, players and staff for the 2024-25 season. We aim to offer the best possible products and services across St Mary’s Stadium and Staplewood Training Campus, so it’s fantastic to be offering a pure and natural spring water.”
