Management Changes At Print Waste Company
Thursday 13th November 2008
Print waste handling specialist J&G Environmental has announced changes to its top management following the company's recent acquisition by Southampton-based Cleansing Service Group (CSG).
CSG director Neil Richards (52) has been appointed director of the Blandford-based company with responsibility for its development within the group.
He joined CSG, one of the UK's largest privately-owned waste management companies, as operations manager in 2002 and became the group's treatment and disposal director in 2006.
J&G general manager John Haines (47) retains that role but will now have overall responsibility for running the company's entire day-to-day print waste management and recycling operation which serves over 2000 UK printing houses and newspaper groups.
John, who joined J&G in l998 and became general manager in 2005, has wide experience of the transfer and treatment of all types of waste.
The two managers have worked together for a number of years during a long collaboration between the companies during which CSG has provided J&G with specialist print waste handling facilities at its Warrington site where huge volumes of print by-products are processed and recycled.
Outgoing J&G founder and managing director Steve Armstrong, who guided the company to its market-leading position in the print waste sector, will now take on a consultant role across the whole of CSG's group operations.
Neil Richards said: "It's business as usual at J&G. We are operating as normal from our Blandford and Warrington sites, and the way we collect and manage waste from our thousands of printing industry clients remains unchanged."
