Testimonials
We are constantly seeking to optimise and improve our Material Recovery and Recycling Facilities. Steve joined our Engineering and Asset Management team as an ‘Interim Manager’ for a ten month period to review the process and operations at 15 of our sites across the country. He collated and reviewed data and produced a suite of evidence based reports for each operation with options for performance improvement. Steve integrated seamlessly into the team and worked closely with each Unit Manager. His reports enabled us to make more informed decisions and build on our historical database.
Steve Bell – Lead Recycling Engineer, VIRIDOR WASTE MANAGEMENT
Wrap Cymru were separately commissioned by three local authorities to advise on new contracts involving complete replacement of each municipal MRF. Steve was retained to create a tender document for one of the authorities and to provide technical advice on behalf of WRAP Cymru to the three local authorities regarding the operation and performance of the new equipment at each MRF.
Dick Perry – Manager Strategic and Operational Support, WRAP CYMRU
We needed someone to manage the design and installation of four 5000m3 organic material storage lagoons with integral leak detection in England & Wales. Steve was recommended to us and worked for 6 months on these projects. The work involved surveying the field sites, designing the layout, liaising with utility companies, appointing contractors, purchasing the parts, overseeing the construction and managing the installation. We continue to use his services whenever new projects arise.
Steve Taylor – Managing Director, WHITES RECYCLING LIMITED
Due to tight deadlines, we needed technical advice to quickly determine the process requirements of a large complex materials recovery operation incorporating different processing streams. Steve surveyed the processing equipment and undertook a detailed analysis of the material flows to produce a briefing report which was used to understand our interaction with the facility. I have no hesitation in recommending Steve as a professional technical resource.
