THE waste recycler, NWH Group, has acquired the business and assets of Dumfries-based Armstrong Waste Management Limited – the waste management division of the Armstrong Group. With AWM retaining the soils processing and landfill.
Mark Williams, CEO at NWH Group, said: “In line with our strategy for growth through geographical expansion, we are delighted to announce our acquisition of Armstrong Waste Management. Armstrong’s growth has been driven by a passion for making things happen, and we share the same commitment to family values and a desire to deliver a positive difference to the world in which we live.”
The business was acquired for an undisclosed sum, and will add a further 10% to NWH Group’s annual turnover. Armstrong Waste Management will be re-branded as NWH Group but through a managed process over a period of time, and associated staff being retained. NWH Group aims to identify further growth opportunities for the Dumfries site, and will in turn create a number of new job opportunities in the area.

Keenan Recycling to spread the word on the benefits of the Circular Economy
SCOTLAND’S largest food waste collection company Keenan Recycling is proud to announce that its environmental compliance manager Rachael Reid has volunteered to be a circular economy ambassador as part of Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce’s (AGCC) Circular North East initiative.
Rachael is one of around 40 circular economy ambassadors that will assist Circular North East in educating businesses in the region on how to move away from the ‘take-make-dispose’ model of the linear economy that is widely understood and make more sustainable operational decisions that cut or eliminate waste.
Rachael explained: “At Keenan our entire business is dedicated to reducing waste that ends up in landfill by recycling food or garden waste into biofuel. As a circular economy ambassador, I look forward to advocating for waste reduction not
14
just through recycling, but also through reducing waste produced in the North East.”
Passionate about the environment and making a difference, Rachael, a qualified conservational biologist, is thrilled to be part of the new group.
“I’ve always cared about protecting our environment and tried to live a green lifestyle which is why I enjoy my role at Keenan, educating our customers on what the circular economy is, why it’s so important that we reduce landfill waste levels and how Keenan can help them do this.
“Recycling and managing food waste is such an easy way to really make a positive impact to our world. I’m pleased to be given the opportunity to talk to other businesses, alongside like-minded professionals to encourage a green movement across the North east.”
