The Team

Edwin - The Water Guy

I started GiveMeTap while I was studying for my PhD in Mathematics at the University of Manchester. Around that time, I also happened to be on a major fitness drive. Finding places to fill up my water bottle around campus was almost impossible so I decided to do something about it.

That thing was Give Me Tap.

After pitching the business at various events, I kept on being approached by people asking “Hey - are you that Water Guy?” The name stuck and it’s now my mission to spread the gift of clean water to everyone.

Sanum - The Chatterbox

After finishing University in 2013, I am now the first employee & co-founding member, heading up PR, Marketing & Sales. I like to think I'm saving the World, one press release at a time!

How did I get my name? Edwin realised after my first week at GiveMeTap that I cannot stop talking so it only seemed fit to call me the Chatterbox!

Waleed Lakhani - The Plumber

I too studied at the University of Manchester, so naturally it wasn't long before I heard about GiveMeTap and it's mission to bring clean water to the world. I initially got involved as an intern in 2013 and then joined as employee #2 as soon as I graduated.

As The Plumber, I'm responsible for Sales as well as maintaining and building our network of Taps. You'll usually find me either pitching / selling GiveMeTap or looking for new cafes and restaurants to add to our network.
