We’re back with our fourth instalment of our deep dive into the Brown Recycling family tree! 🌳

This edition focusses on Rod Brown’s journey from Maintenance Engineer to Chairman, commemorating a career spanning an incredible 50 year’s next year.

After a long and successful era as Managing Director, Rod passed the baton on to the current generation in 2023, his Children Mitch and Dominique, helping continue the family legacy into its next chapter. Rod is still Chairman today, overseeing the business he has turned into the largest independent waste management provider in Staffordshire over the last half-century. In doing so, he has realised the ambition he set when he first became Managing Director.

Swipe to learn more about the Rod Brown years and discover how his leadership helped modernise Brown Recycling into the business it is today.

Do you own a small business? You might be creating trade waste without even realising it.

If you run a shop, café, salon, small office or similar commercial space and your business produces rubbish, it’s classed as trade waste. That includes packaging, paper, broken stock, or even old furniture.

It can’t go in your household bin as it must be managed through licenced services. Worry not, we can help you deal with it affordably and properly!

Learn more about what counts as trade waste and how Brown Recycling can help you to stay compliant today 👇

We’re incredibly proud to have pledged our support to the Armed Forces Covenant, becoming one of over 13,000 organisations across the UK committed to supporting those who serve, or have served, in the British Armed Forces. 🪖🖊

As a business that actively employs six former Armed Forces personnel, some of whom are pictured below, this pledge is not the beginning of our support for the Armed Forces community but a clear recognition of our longstanding and ongoing commitment.

As signatories, we promise that:
• no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
• and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved

To find out more about how we continue support the Armed Forces community, visit our website here: https://www.brownrecycling.co.uk/news-advice/brown-recycling-signs-the-armed-forces-covenant/

A sentimental touch for the newest additions to the fleet. 🚛✨

Earlier this week, we welcomed two new trade waste trucks to our growing fleet of waste management vehicles. Aptly named Ernold and Herbert in honour of our ancestors in the family business, we even got them delivered with personalised registration plates ending ERN and HBT. They join our LGV truck called Samuel, named after our founding father, which arrived earlier in the year. ♻️

Brown Recycling now has over 50 vehicles in its ranks, for collecting all types of waste materials from its commercial and domestic customers.

We're sure Ernold and Herbert will be coming to a street near you soon, so keep your eyes peeled. 👀

We're delighted to welcome our newest employee to the Brown Recycling team, Jessica Potts! 🥳

Jess joined us in March as our HR Advisor, bringing valuable HR experience from the education and e-commerce sectors. We asked Jess about her proudest achievements during her initial six months with the business. She said:

"I have been passionate about driving positive change and have accomplished a great deal in a relatively short period. Some of my key accomplishments include successfully leading the business to sign the Armed Forces Covenant, attracting and recruiting new talent across the organisation, and introducing a range of new HR processes and policies to improve consistency, compliance and the overall employee experience."

We're delighted to have Jess as part of the team and look forward to seeing her continue to make a positive impact across the business.
