Reconomy set for fresh expansion
Shropshire based waste management services Reconomy is on the hunt for new staff as it continues on its bid to grow turnover to £200 million in the next three years.
The Telford-based business grew its revenue from £87.4 million to £119 million in 29016, an increase of 36 per cent.
Demand for Reconomy's services looks set to continue this year, and it is projecting another increase to £137 million-worth of turnover by the year's end.
Now the company has embarked on a recruitment drive as it seeks to expand several core departments across the business.
The company is looking to recruit up to 15 experienced customer services representatives, customer accounts co-ordinators and credit controllers to join its 300-strong team.
Managing director Paul Cox said: "Our ultimate business goal is to reach £200m turnover within the next three years.
"To achieve this, it is imperative that we continue to attract and employ the very best people that Shropshire and the surrounding counties have to offer."
Reconomy helps businesses recycle, process and dispose of waste. For the last three consecutive years Reconomy has diverted 93 per cent of all the waste it manages on behalf of its clients away from landfill.
Lyndsey Denning, HR manager for Reconomy, added: "In 2016 over 100 new recruits joined the Reconomy team and this trend looks set to continue into 2017.
"Not only are we always on the lookout for talented business professionals, we are also committed to developing our existing employees so they can reach their full potential. Last year our internal academy delivered over 3,500 hours of training."
In 2015 Reconomy moved into major new premises, at HMRC's former offices in Kelsall House at Stafford Park in Telford.
It has expanded through acquisitions in recent years, including the 2015 deal for Shrewsbury-based Countrywide Waste Management, followed last year by the takeover of Just Hire UK Limited, which trades as Network Waste.
In July, it followed those deals up with the acquisition of the national brokerage arm of Cory Environmental – which includes UK Nationwide Skip Hire Limited, trading as Skippy Nationwide, Skips @ Home Limited, trading as Skip Hire UK, and Cory Environmental Recycling Services Limited.
