A Devon waste and recycling firm has moved its head office to Exeter’s Greendale Business Park as it looks to expand its operations.
DCW said the move would reduce its environmental footprint and position the firm closer to parent company SUEZ, which is also based on site. The company was previously located at the Enviro Hub in Marsh Barton.
There will be 15 staff and a fleet of 34 trucks based within the business park, with DCW and SUEZ sharing office and disposal facilities for waste segregation and processing.
Grant Scott, general manager at DCW, said: “Our move to Greendale marks a significant step in our continued growth. It allows us to strengthen our operations while maintaining the local, reliable service we’ve built our reputation on. We’re also proud to contribute to reducing our environmental footprint through more efficient logistics and transport routes.”
DCW said the business park’s proximity to the M5 would also allow for quicker access and more streamlined operations.
While DCW will operate primarily from Greendale, the company will retain a presence at Lee Mill Industrial Estate in Plymouth and Thorveton Road MRF at Marsh Barton, Exeter, it added.
The move comes a year after DCW was acquired by Berkshire-headquartered SUEZ, which employs over 6,000 people, operating across over 300 sites.
In September, the Devon business agreed a deal with Exeter Chiefs to improve recycling at its Sandy Park stadium. The premiership side is hoping its partnership with DCW will encourage fans to recycle more of their match day waste.
