Based in Nottingham and Derbyshire, Stanton Recycling represents an expansion for Willshee’s with its Ilkeston site becoming the buyer’s fifth site and bringing its employee numbers to over 160.
All existing employees will continue in their roles under Willshee’s leadership.
Founded in 2004, the acquired company has provided municipal waste, mixed recycling and organic waste services.
The acquisition also represents an expansion in Willshee’s organic waste collection to its offerings, which already include Total Waste Management, production of solid recovered and refuse derived fuels, skip hire, process and recycling of wood, along with the recycling of cardboard, glass, hazardous waste, food and metal.
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.”
Martlink served as the lead M&A advisor for Willshee’s Recycling with Shoosmiths providing legal advice. Stanton Recycling received financial advice from their accountant Ashgates and legal advice from Gateley.
Stanton Recycling said that it plans to continue to offer its current customers an excellent service, complimented by Willshee’s. The two companies will operate together under Willshee’s name in the future.
