SKIPS Busy Bins’ boss has gone Karren crazy
IT’S been a year since Baroness Karren Brady last visited waste disposal company Busy Bins in Bury for her ITV programme Give It A Year, so it’s clear she made quite a lasting impression.
In the company’s latest promotional video, titled Give It Another Year, entrepreneur Josh Morris can be seen taking a cardboard cut-out of his idol out on a bin collection round and chatting to it in the office while his workmates despair of him.
The hilarious video is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the company’s time on the television show, which sees Baroness Brady visit fledgling companies and then return a year later to see how they have fared.
Josh started Busy Bins up in 2014, when he spotted a gap in the waste removal market, as his local council collections
had just recently been moved to only once every three weeks, and he could see that families and homeowners were struggling to manage their waste.
These days, the growing company has expanded into servicing most of Greater Manchester.
Josh said of his new video: “We wanted to show our customers and social media followers how much change has happened since we appeared on Give It A Year, but we didn’t just want to be like every other company and make a dull slideshow of what we have done.
“We wanted to hopefully give a few people a laugh whilst showing what has changed.”
Scott Bros’ 50 tonne take away will realise charity site’s potential
Shaw Trust, at its Shaw Trust Enterprises site at Bishopton Road and its sister site in Seaham, works with almost 70 young people and adults with learning difficulties, including autism.
Both nurseries operate as social enterprises with clients growing shrubs, plants and vegetables in greenhouses and polytunnels. The produce, together with garden furniture and accessories, is then available for sale.
TEESSIDE haulage and plant hire business Scott Bros has unlocked a charity’s future growth potential by removing 50 tonnes of material from its site.
The work will allow Shaw Trust Enterprise North East to create a much-needed sales area for its garden produce as well
14
as creating an attractive outdoor dining area for those using its adjacent coffee shop.
It is hoped the project will boost the number of visitors to its garden centre in Grangefield, Stockton-on-Tees, as well generating more income – all of which is ploughed back into the charity.
Paula Maddison-Green, Enterprise Manager for Shaw Trust Enterprises North East, said: “We have had plans to unlock the potential of this particular area for several years, but never had the necessary funds. Scott Bros readily agreed to help realise our vision, which we hope will generate more income and allow us to make a difference to the lives of even more disabled adults.
This is a real milestone in the development of our Stockton site and one which will make a really positive effect. I’d like to thank Scott Bros for making it all possible."`
