Tricel (Weston), formerly known as Dewey Waters, announced the completion of its rebrand in April 2025, bringing the business under the global Tricel Group brand.
While the name changed, the company remained firmly rooted in Weston-super-Mare, continuing its role as a UK manufacturer of WRAS-approved cold water storage tanks for commercial, industrial and agricultural applications.
The rebrand marked a new chapter focused on expansion, job creation and career development, supported by new recruitment initiatives and long-term investment in local talent.
A New Chapter for Tricel Weston
The transition from Dewey Waters to Tricel (Weston) Ltd united the Weston-super-Mare operation under the wider Tricel Group brand while continuing the company’s established local manufacturing presence.
The Weston facility plays an important role in Tricel’s UK operations, producing GRP cold water storage tanks for a range of applications.
The rebrand was positioned not simply as a change of name but as an opportunity to support future growth, expand the team and create further career opportunities in Weston-super-Mare.

This is more than a name change—it’s a renewed commitment to our employees, our community, and the industries we serve.
