This new role represents a key hire, helping the fourth generation family business streamline operations, and set the motions in place for further strategic growth. Jim Wainwright, said: “I’m already loving it at Ward. It was a culture shock at fi rst, moving from such a large organisation to a smaller family-run business, but that’s what is exciting.
“I love the can-do attitude of the whole team, the pace and the ability to make a positive impact in a short space of time.” Based at Ward’s Ilkeston site – the role will cover all fi ve of Ward’s metal recycling and waste management
