Bateman Skips says on its website that it is an independently owned and family run waste company which provides skip and grab hire and waste management services to domestic and commercial customers throughout Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas. It also owns a 150,000 tonnes per year capacity waste transfer station.

“RSK has a strong place in the environmental sector, and we will use this to expand the business and further drive growth. I would like to thank all of our customers, clients and suppliers and assure them that we will continue to deliver the same excellent level of service and high standards that are at the core of this business.

Entrepreneurs Hub advised the shareholders of Bateman Skips Ltd, negotiating a successful sale to Cheshire-based RSK Group, a global group of companies delivering sustainable solutions.
According to a statement from Entrepreneurs Hub, Bateman has a “strong track record of investing in plant and equipment resulting in an excellent reputation for operating a clean and well-maintained fleet across the local area, attracting clients like Biffa, Mitie, Lancer Scott and Hills Group”.
The statement added that Bateman has also “developed a stream of work outside of its local area through a brokerage service, which was attractive to anyone looking to integrate the business with a wider, national network”.

Transfer station
One of Bateman’s “key distinctives” is its access to a purpose built 2.5-acre freehold waste transfer station which employs “industry leading waste separation technology to achieve an impressive recycle rate of up to 100,000 tonnes and holds a 150,000 tonne per annum bespoke permit”.
This capacity provides “significant headroom for growth to an already very successful business”, Entrepreneurs Hub added.
Alan Ryder, group chief executive at the RSK Group, added: “Bringing Bateman Skips Ltd into the RSK family of businesses offers the opportunity to further invest in the sustainable future of waste management. Lee and his team have long championed integrating sustainable practices into their work and have been innovators in the sector.”
