A rewarding year
2011 was another busy and rewarding year for ACM, due, in no small part, to our loyal customers, staff and everyone associated with our business. For that we thank you.
The year saw our continued expansion, which began when Dave Shilingis joined us as Head of Sales & Marketing. Dave will drive new business and is overseeing the extension of our Sales Team of Environmental Consultants.
We are stronger and better positioned than ever for future growth. This is evidenced by major clients such as Marriott International Hotels PLC renewing their long-term commitment to ACM, as well as receiving the continued support of brands such as Brake Bros and Siemens. We are very much looking forward to working with ZSL’s sites at London and Whipsnade Zoos as we begin an exciting 6 year contract looking after everything from ‘Zoo Poo’ composting to complete mixed waste recycling and removal. Look out for the stunning ‘wildlife’ themed graphics on our large waste compactors as they make their way too and from the zoos!
Our growth will be further enhanced by acquisitions and we are actively seeking complementary businesses to add to our group of companies. With this in mind we have moved our audit, accountancy and management consulting practices to Ernst & Young.
We were delighted to receive our first prestigious Green Apple Award for Environmental Best Practice for the environmental improvement work we have underaken with D S Smith Packaging, Belper.
Being part of those awards has spurred us on, and in 2012 we will be introducing our own Greener Path Awards. We will be recognising the environmental improvements and achievements of our clients in the last year and rewarding those who have achieved the best results.
As a business focused on proactively reducing the impact our customers have on the environment, we are delighted to have achieved landfill diversion for all clients of just under 90%.
Further cementing our environmental credentials, we are now drawing our power from Solar energy following the installation of solar panels on the roof of our Head Office, Eco House.
2012 sees us continuing to meet our vision of being a leading supplier of innovative environmental services. As always, we will continue to focus on improving our People, Processes and Performance driven by the knowledge that we are providing an invaluable service for our clients.
We wish you all a prosperous 2012.
