More changes lie ahead as ESA completes merger

The Environmental Services Association (ESA) will complete its merger with the Energy from Waste Association on Monday September 3, but already further changes lie ahead for the organisation with the news that its head of policy will be leaving. Dirk Hazell, chief executive, of the ESA has confirmed that its director of policy, Stuart McLanaghan, is to leave the trade association. Dr McLanaghan said that he had no comment to make at the present time. He is not expected to leave the organisation until the end of the year.

Dr McLanaghan was previously director of the Energy from Waste Association, a position he left last year to return to the ESA where he had served previously as a policy executive.

The ESA is also looking to recruit a new policy executive as Nick Holmes is leaving to join waste management firm Shanks.

Debbie Dorkin who was with the Energy from Waste Association joins the ESA staff as its expert on energy from waste. The EWA has moved to the ESA’s offices in Victoria, London and activities previously undertaken by the EWA Executive Committee are now the remit of a new ESA Renewables Committee.

The ESA, formed in 1969, is the trade body for the UK’s waste management industry, which has an annual turnover of more than 4 billion, equivalent to about 0.5% of the British economy.
