Salford Waste Management creates jobs and doubles capacity with £1m funding

Salford Skip Hire Ltd, trading as Salford Waste Management, is set to expand its team and double capacity after securing a funding package of more than £1m with Allied Irish Bank (GB).

In addition to creating five jobs, the skip hire firm used the seven-figure boost to install a new Kiverco recycling plant, improving efficiency and supporting a series of new contract wins.

The firm said it is now able to process as much as 100,000 tonnes of waste per annum.

Salford Waste Management director Marisa Cauchi said: “I am extremely passionate about our business and I have a long-standing interest in renewable energy and the importance of turning waste into energy.

“We take very seriously our responsibility with regards to waste management and this new plant enables us to recover and reuse waste instead of using landfill sites.”

She continued: “This state–of-the-art plant is the last piece in the jigsaw for us because it is helping to achieve a long-held goal to contribute to renewable energy as well as giving us the capabilities to provide materials for other uses such as aggregates.

“I have also been delighted with the backing from Allied Irish Bank (GB) who have shown great confidence in our business and future goals for turning waste into energy.”

Salford Waste Management’s commercial manager, Conor Teague, commented: “We were looking to improve our ability to handle more waste on site as well as improving our recovery rates, so it made sense to install a new recycling plant.

“We believe waste should be treated as a resource and we aim to recycle and recover as much reusable material from your waste as possible.”

He added: “We’ve had to make a significant investment in the site in recent years to accommodate this expansion, purchasing additional land and improving its infrastructure to meet the demands of a busy waste transfer station.”

Allied Irish Bank (GB) relationship manager David Booth, hailed Salford Waste Management as “a well known local business” that is currently experiencing “significant growth”, adding: “This is a key stage for the business as they increase capacity with the new recycling plant which will meet new contracts but also allow for further growth.

“We are delighted to support the team with their expansion plans and look forward to working with them in the future.”

Situated on Cobden Street in Salford, the company hires out skips ranging from four to 40 cubic yards, for use in both domestic and commercial projects. Salford Waste Management was founded in 1990 by directors Tony and Marisa Cauchi.
