A waste management and recycling solutions provider has announced an acquisition marking a strategic expansion to enhance both its regional presence and service capabilities.
Willshee’s Waste & Recycling, based in Burton upon Trent, has agreed a deal for Stanton Recycling Limited, an established waste and recycling service provider operating across Nottingham and Derbyshire.
The acquisition of the company will increase Willshee’s employee numbers to more than 160. The existing Stanton Recycling employees will continue in their roles under Willshee’s leadership.
Stanton Recycling’s site in Ilkeston, in Derbyshire, becomes Willshee’s fifth site – adding to its head office and two depots in Burton and another in Swadlincote, in Derbyshire.
Dean Willshee, Managing Director of Willshee’s, said: “Acquiring Stanton Recycling enables us to expand our reach across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire along with bringing new organic waste capabilities to our existing clients.
“Looking ahead, we’re aiming to further strengthen our business, create more local jobs and drive positive environmental change across the region.”
Willshee’s is a family company established in 1984.
Daily Focus reported earlier this year that turnover at the firm had hit £35 million as it celebrated its 40th anniversary.
Stanton Recycling Limited was founded in 2004 and has provided extensive municipal waste, mixed recycling and organic waste services across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
