Willshee’s Waste & Recycling expands in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire with acquisition

Willshee’s Waste & Recycling has acquired Stanton Recycling, an established waste and recycling service provider.

The acquisition marks a strategic expansion for Willshee’s throughout Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, enhancing both its regional presence and service capabilities.

Founded in 2004, Stanton Recycling has provided extensive municipal waste, mixed recycling and organic waste services across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The acquisition of the company will increase Willshee’s Waste & Recycling’s employee numbers to in excess of 160.

The existing Stanton Recycling employees will continue in their roles under Willshee’s leadership.

Stanton Recycling’s Ilkeston site becomes Willshee’s Waste & Recycling’s fifth site – joining  sites in Burton-On-Trent and Swadlincote.

Dean Willshee, Managing Director of Willshee’s, said: “Acquiring Stanton Recycling enables us to expand our reach across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire along with bringing new organic waste capabilities to our existing clients.

“Looking ahead, we’re aiming to further strengthen our business, create more local jobs and drive positive environmental change across the region.”
