Danone Waters (UK & Ireland) Limited was a company forming part of the Danone Group, the international food and beverage group whose water brands in the UK include Evian, Volvic and Harrogate Spring Water. Its registered business classification covered acting as an agent in the sale of food and beverages, consistent with a role handling the distribution or sale of Danone's water products in the UK and Ireland market. The wider Danone Group is a global business operating across dairy, plant-based, water and specialised nutrition categories in over 120 countries; those group-level operations should not be attributed to this entity alone. Companies House records show the company is now in liquidation, meaning it has ceased to trade as a going concern under its own name.
