Darren John, sales manager at Hills Waste Solutions commented: “Having beaten national businesses in the tender process, it’s a fantastic local business success story. This deal brings two of Swindon’s most respected organisations together in a working partnership.”
Daniel Bedford, director of estates and facilities at New College Swindon, added: “We were impressed with Hills’ hands-on, partnership approach – which includes a dedicated account manager, open access to recycling data and the social value they can add with work experience opportunities for some of our students. Working with a Swindon-based business also helps us to reduce the carbon impact of waste and recycling operations, so it’s great to have Hills on board.”
Steve Willis, assistant manager at Hills’ Purton depot said that to mobilise the New College Swindon contract, they have delivered a suite of new bins and containers to the North Star and Queens Drive campuses. “This has included everything from skips and rear end loaders through to internal bins to help segregate recycling and food waste bins to support the training kitchen,” Willis said.
New College Swindon’s Facilities team are also said to be benefitting from access to Hills’ customer portal, giving them real time data about their recycling, recovery and reuse rates.
