Will Chase the local multi millionaire entrepreneur, and majority partner in Chase Tenbury LLP the owners of the Tenbury Cattle Market site is in negotiation with Coca-Cola with a view to buying the Malvern Water brand.It would appear that whilst the iconic brand may be salvaged, the 108 year old Colwall plant will still be closed and production moved to his Chase Vodka distillery site.
Malvern Water has been popular for hundreds of years, and a favourite with the reigning monarch.
In recent times the water at most (or all) of the public pumps are said to have become contaminated and unsafe to drink unless treated. This fact has not been widely publicised and several people in Tenbury recently became very ill after collecting and drinking water from one of the wells.

Is MR Chase trying to leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth??....
Why not sell it to Tesco? Tesco Hills Tescobury Wells
Don;t you see he won't be able to buy malvern water unless tesco gets the go ahead. He won't afford it
I think he will.
Also I guess he won't be paying that much if he only wants the brand and not the site, which Coca-Cola want to sell for housing.
I don't think he will be selling the Cattle Market site, just leasing it to Tesco. (But that is just speculation)
it will be lease for so many years with a figure on the end of the lease hold of how much tesco will have to pay to buy it right out which they will be obliged to do.
It looks like he doesn't "own" the Cattle market anymore....it would appear that service as normal has resumed - ie he has defaulted on something possibly something trivial like tax!
Comes to show can he really afford Malvern Water? Or is he trying to do a publicity stunt to try and make himself popular again?
He knows Malvern Water is popular round here (Well Duh!) And "saving" it would put him in peoples good books.
My opinion: Publicity Stunt
