J&G Environmental, our major waste management company provide us with invaluable advice in a very professional and uncomplicated manner. They are heavily involved with the work we do and their support ensures we maintain and improve our standards of environmental performance year after year.
We could not possibly move forward, securing prestigious industry awards, or gain maximum publicity without a partner with such high standards. Angus Clark, Chief Executive TJ International
The service J&G provide to our company is superb. The standard of customer care is excellent whetever our company's needs are, it never seems too much trouble. Richard Spreadbury and Alan Robinson are always on hand to help and advise.
It gave me peace of mind when J&G sorted everything out for me with the Environment Agency regarding the new legislation for removal of hazardous waste that came into force last year. The seminar J&G provided for all their clients was excellent and the information first class. I would recommend J&G every time. Maureen Neal, Environment Co-ordinator Communisis (Print & Direct Mail Services)
We have been working with J&G Environmental, specifically Alan Robinson, since last September. We'd had a problem with our previous supplier who once the new environmental regulations kicked in last summer all but refused to remove our chemical waste. We ended up with a large amount of waste ink and fountain solution and our existing supplier was apparently unwilling to help us solve the problems. We shortlisted several companies to get our chemical waste disposal contract and it was soon clear that J&G were the company for us. J&G stepped in quickly and effectively and within a couple of weeks our waste chemical pile was no more. Since then they have routinely and effectively removed our chemical waste on a fortnightly basis. No longer does waste stack up because its not labelled correctly', Their drivers never fail to be polite and courteous and if there are problems with the load they always work with us towards a solution - and the solutions are always quickly executed.
With J&G it wasn't just a matter of signing a contract and then some subliminal encouragement for us to create more waste (thereby earning them more money), J&G proactively encourage us to improve our waste minimisation techniques. They have audited our processes and work with our managers on chemical waste minimisation in all sectors of our process helping us target waste and reduce it where possible.
They are also working with us on other areas of waste minimisation, most notably plastics and aluminium. They explore markets and assist us with recycling projects. and not always in projects where they will financially benefit for example office paper recycling.
Their invoicing is always spot on, they respond when they say they will, Alan is always at the other end of the phone; responses to requests phoned in direct to the office are always responded to promptly. Alan keeps in touch on a regular basis and will always come to site when needed, and sometimes when he's not! I fear that we may be a high maintenance customer, but they are most certainly a low maintenance supplier. We are very happy with J&G. Andrew Pindar, Chairman Pindar Graphics
I would like to take this opportunity to thank J&G Environmental for the outstanding service you give to Spellman Walker. For over 2 years you have been an approved supplier to this company. Over that period the following observations have been made not just by me but by other employees at all levels. The following points have been commented on:
1. The regular visits by your sales team to keep me abreast of new legisIation and new ideas.
2. Warehouse staff are impressed with the drivers attitudes who collect from our site, with their politeness and standard of vehicles
3. On a personal note I have found J&G Environmental to be a company I would recommend to any other company that they are tendering for. The manner in which they operate from sales, drivers and management I have found to be first class.
So on that note I would like to say "Thank you to all the management and workforce at J&G Environmental for the service you provide Spellman Walker and long may it continue". Stephen Gledhill, Purchasing / Health & Safety Manager Spellman Walker
St Ives plc is a printing company and it's sites generate a variety of waste streams including plastic, wood and aluminium for recycling and hazardous waste for specialist recovery and/or disposal. J&G Environmental provide a waste management service to all St Ives plc sites in the UK and have done so for a number of years. J&G 'won' the group hazardous waste disposal contract by providing a consistently good service to individual sites in competition with other waste management companies. J&G proved themselves to be far superior to their competitors with respect to price and quality of service.
The service provided includes advice support and assistance to sites with regard to the handling, storage and treatment of waste materials. J&G also carry out regular annual waste audits of each St Ives facility.
The service provided by J&G is prompt and efficient and all St Ives sites are more than satisfied with the service that they receive from J&G. On the rare occasions that there have been issues concerning the collection of waste materials these have been identified and resolved quickly to the satisfaction of all parties concerned.
J&G's particular strengths are:
- The ability to provide a prompt and efficient service to all St Ives locations throughout the United Kingdom from Roche in Cornwall to Bungay in Suffolk and Edenbridge in Kent to Blackburn in Lancashire.
- The provision of containers and equipment to facilitate the efficient collection and storage of waste materials on the sites.
- A professional & personal liaison with the sites to ensure that their needs with respect to waste management are identified and met.
- Flexibility to consider new and varied waste streams.
- A detailed and professional knowledge of UK and European environmental law relating to waste management. Geoff Court, Health, Safety and Environment Adviser St Ives plc
J&G Environmental have for a considerable time now been the preferred company for our mainstream waste collection.
In all aspects we have found them to be totally professional, informative and courteous. There seems to be a common theme throughout, from the Managing Director to the transport drivers of wanting to provide the best possible service to us - the customer, ensuring that we continue to comply with the latest legal and environmental requirements.
J&G recently played a considerable part toward our being awarded ISO 14001 Environmental certification. J&G were recommended to us and in turn we would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. Peter Darlow Newnorth Print
We commenced using the services of J&G in 2000 and from the very beginning of our relationship have regarded them as partners as we continually develop the management of our waste streams. With their support we were accredited with ISO 14001 in 2004.
In particular I find their staff to be knowledgeable, enthusiastic and contactable. Their paperwork and attention to detail are second to none and they will always ring back or follow up a call to ensure complete satisfaction. They keep me abreast of changes in legislation and will offer advice as to best practice even if it will result in a weakening of their income stream.
Some of their solutions to everyday problems are highly innovative and they can often put me in contact with other waste stream experts for any waste problems outside their own expertise.
In conclusion I believe that they have been a breath of fresh air in the printing and allied industries in providing high standards of environmentally friendly solutions to potentially difficult disposal problems. James G Bird, Commercial Director Linney Print
