The group said that the decision strengthens its waste management and recycling services across the Midlands.
The move includes the acquisition of 80 jobs from Jones Skips.
A spokesperson for Willshees said: “The acquisition supports Willshees Group’s continued growth strategy and commitment to investing in people, infrastructure and environmental performance.
“Together, the combined business is well positioned to provide comprehensive waste and recycling solutions, helping organisations across the region improve efficiency, achieve compliance and maximise recycling opportunities.”
Jones Skips
Jones Skips, formally Jones Skip Hire (Wolverhampton) Ltd, is a skip hire and waste management company based at Chillington Works in Wolverhampton.
Established in 1998, it has grown into one of the largest waste management providers in the West Midlands.
It handles skips from two-yard up to 40-yard roll-on roll-off containers and offers compaction and trade waste services.
Formerly a family-run business, a consortium of investors acquired the business approximately two years ago.
Willshees Group
Willshees Group is a family-run waste management company based near Burton-on-Trent in the Midlands. Founded in the 1980s, it is now run by the second generation of the family, with Dean Willshee as managing director.
It offers skip hire, roll-on roll-off containers, hazardous waste disposal and total waste management for businesses.
In December 2024 it acquired Stanton Recycling, extending its coverage across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and adding organic waste collection.
