Biffa to install live camera systems for new flagship contracts
LEADING waste management company, Biffa, has chosen to equip the vehicles bound for its latest flagship contract wins in East Sussex and Waverley, with live camera systems, in line with the company’s commitment to health and safety.
The contract for the live camera systems, which are to be fitted to over 80 vehicles comprising a combination of refuse vehicles, caged tippers and sweepers, was won by UK vehicle safety technology company, Innovative Safety Systems Ltd (ISS).
The RXLite live camera system from ISS is manufactured using premium grade components to minimise any risk of failure and utilises wide angle HD 720p cameras and an HD in-cab monitor for maximum image clarity.
However, it was the company’s after-sales service, including a dedicated installation crew and installation app that particularly impressed decision-makers at Biffa.
David Maidman, Business Director at Biffa, said: “ISS have been very supportive and professional in their approach, and they have the necessary infrastructure to assist us with the mobilisation of the vehicles. We have worked with ISS before on smaller contracts and have always been very pleased with the quality of their products and service.”
Oliver Hoadley, UK Sales Director at ISS, said: “These are major contracts and we are delighted that Biffa has selected us as their chosen safety technology provider.”
The East Sussex contract, for the provision of 60 vehicles, commenced on 29 June 2019 and the Waverley contract for 20 vehicles commences on 1 November 2019.
NWH Group launches trade waste in Newcastle
THE waste recycler, NWH Group, is set to invest more than £2m in its new Factory Road site in Newcastle’s Blaydon area in order to launch its trade waste service for the north east of England.
Having first expanded into Newcastle during the latter part of 2018, the business has quickly outgrown its existing premises due to demand for its services and requires more space to expand its operations and cater for the wider North East.
The new three-acre site is ideally located to support city centre trade as well as the surrounding areas. Once upgraded with suitable infrastructure, the business plans to extend its range of services to accommodate the waste recycling requirements of the office, industrial, construction, healthcare, hospitality and leisure sectors.

NWH currently employs 24 staff in Newcastle, with plans to double this by the end of the year. A number of roles are already being recruited for, including business development.
Allan Kane, General Manager of Waste Services at NWH Group, said: “We have made a strong start in Newcastle, thanks to our great team and comprehensive service proposition. The business has an appetite for success, and we will be investing heavily in new site infrastructure including a new building, waste processing equipment, vehicles and – of course – bins, so we are in the best possible
position to support our customers’ waste recycling needs.”
Currently NWH Group operates a fleet of skips from its Newcastle base and plans to launch its trade waste service in the autumn once the new site is fully operational.
