The Scottish waste management firm says the deal will add approximately £5 million to its annual turnover.
Mark Williams, CEO at NWH Group, said: “These are exciting times for our business as we successfully deliver on our strategy for growth through geographical expansion and we are delighted to announce our acquisition of this 45-year-old family business.
“Building on the foundations laid by J&J Stanley Recycling, we will be able to better service our existing customers in the area and expand our trade waste business across the north east of England.”
The deal also sees NWH Group take on 14 former J&J Stanley Recycling employees, taking its workforce in the UK to 354, as well as a 4.87-acre waste recycling site on Cowen Road in Blaydon.
J&J Stanley Recycling
J&J Stanley Recycling describes itself as a “third generation scrap metal merchant with a growing emphasis on total waste management and recycling”.
It is to be re-branded as The NWH Group. The business will look to identify further growth opportunities for the Blaydon site, NWH Group says, which will create new job opportunities in the area.
The Cowen Road facility is already equipped with a picking line, sorting station, baler and scrap metal processing equipment. NWH plans to invest further to renew some of this equipment with the “latest technologies” to ensure recycling can be maximised.
NWH Group
A second-generation family business headquartered in Midlothian, NWH Group provides waste collection services to the leisure, retail and construction industries across the whole of Scotland and Newcastle. It turns the waste it collects into products such as cardboard, paper, washed sands, biomass for energy and animal bedding.
Now operating from 10 sites, NWH Group first expanded into Newcastle in the latter part of 2018 (see letsrecycle.com story). It says it has since outgrown its existing premises due to demand for its services. The business says it requires more space to expand its operations and cater for the wider north east.
