THE NWH GROUP PLOUGH OVER ONE MILLION POUNDS INTO NEWCASTLE REGION

We are excited to share that we have invested over £1.1 million in Newcastle and have continued to grow and expand. 

We recently opened a cutting-edge processing plant in Blaydon, Newcastle, which was funded through a seven-figure deal with HSBC UK. This means that it will now be able to recycle an additional 1,500 metric tonnes of landfill per year and will have CO2 savings of over 750,000 kg CO2e annually. 

Marcus Sangster, Relationship Director at HSBC UK, said: “It is encouraging to support a business in the North East that is consistently expanding and improving its sustainability efforts. We are excited to see what the future brings for NWH Group across the UK.” 

In addition to this, we have recently hired a new Head of Sales, Emma Howe, and a new Head of Service Delivery, Kallum Telfer, to oversee the business’ operations and expansion in Northeast England. We recently launched a campaign in the local press to attract local, independent, family-owned companies, just like the NWH Group. 

The two new strategic hires will not only add value to our operations but also drive innovation and efficiency in achieving our sustainability goals. 

Emma Howe has a strong background in the industry; she joined the NWH Group from a leading London-based waste management company. Emma said, “I am excited by the challenge of bringing my experience and knowledge of how to target growth and build a successful team that matches the ambitions of NWH. I hope my experience working with high-profile customers for the last 6 years to implement innovative, reliable, and easy-to-use services has given me an insight into what matters most to businesses. 

“Just like our operations base in Blaydon, my aim is to put NWH at the heart of service in the North East. For customers to feel part of the NWH family—as one of our own—and to be confident that they are with the right partners to help them achieve their sustainability goals, no matter how ambitious, while we navigate them safely through legalisation with a compliant and professional service team.” 

Kallum Telfer has over 8 years of trade waste experience, including working for some of the biggest trade waste management companies in the country. Kallum said, “My ambitions for this role are straightforward: to continue the growth we've achieved in the short time I've been with the business. Personally, I would love to see the trade waste division of the depot thrive, given my background in that area. Ultimately, my goal is to maintain our high service standards while driving ongoing growth.” 

The company is constantly driving efforts towards a greener, more sustainable future for everyone. That’s why we support our local communities that align with our core pillars of support: recycling education for young people, carbon reduction, talent growth, and mental wellbeing. It has a Community Fund Committee that has already given more than £175,000 to good causes. 

The total investment in the Newcastle area enhances our operational strength and underscores their leadership in sustainable waste management.
