Editor’s Letter
It’s fast approaching that time of the year when yards are shut and the sight of an order is about as rare as my colleagues buying a round. While the tills are whirring everywhere else and shoppers mindlessly
spend their cash, it’s a downtime for many in our industry. 2016 has been an odd old year for us all, but certainly in the waste
industry, there are signs that the sector is booming and there are opportunities for companies to expand in an otherwise uncertain market. If the industry grows as quickly as many are predicting, the sight of
the big boys snapping up the minnows will continue and business will become less diversified. That is the law of the jungle, and I am predicting many more medium sized acquisitions from cash rich waste firms in 2017. The one man skip hire company has become an endangered species,
and the way the world is going it seems very likely he or she will become extinct – as regulation becomes more expensive. Perhaps the most worrying statistic of the year concerned illegal
dumping, which blights the whole industry and tars all of us in the eyes of the general public. It might be wishful thinking, but wouldn’t it be great if this decreased and the focus shifted to those obeying the law, and acting in a respectful, professional manner? Personally, I have high hopes for the New Year, and here at Skip Hire
Towers we are already looking forward to the far-flung days of summer and our WASTE’17 exhibition at Old Trafford, Manchester in June. We can’t wait to see you there. Finally, my colleagues Adam, Scott, and Hilary want to join me in
wishing you all the very best for Christmas and the New Year. We sincerely hope 2017 will be prosperous and happy for everyone in the skip hire, waste, and recycling industries. Lang may yer lum reek!
