Coca-Cola European Partners Great Britain Limited – which operates 12 sites, 6 of which are manufacturing sites – will supply its water and wastewater services, making it the fourth company in England to be granted a license to self-supply by economic regulator Ofwat.

Orin C. Smith, the former chief executive officer at Starbucks, has died at the age of 75. In his time at Starbucks, Smith worked closely with executives Howard Schultz and Howard Behar – so closely the trio was dubbed “H20” (for two Howards and one Orin). The partnership yielded success at Starbucks and deep, lasting friendship for all three men. “He was a humble man, loved and admired by the thousands of partners who had the privilege of knowing him,” Schultz, Starbucks executive chairman wrote in a letter to partners. “He was the older brother I never had, always providing the wisdom and sage guidance to me and the company, while never seeking the stage nor the spotlight. Always, shining the light and giving the credit to others. He made us all better, especially me. There would be no Starbucks of today, if not for Orin Smith.”
