Strategy to create a leading vertically integrated platform

Confidential
Creating a differentiated platform able to service and capture the end-to-end waste and recycling market
01

Reinvestment into platform depth

Additional sites, processing capacity, or bolt-ons create additional up-sell and cross-sell opportunities with clients

02

Control of the value chain

First-touch on waste streams (C&I, construction, skip) secures predictable inbound volume & pricing power

03

Processing & material upgrading

In-house sorting, soil washing, aggregates recovery, and MRF capacity increase value captured per tonne

04

Density & routing efficiency

Clustered geographies reduce dead miles, maximise fleet utilisation, and lower the cost-to-serve each client

05

Margin expansion

Higher recovered value, lower disposal costs, and operating leverage enhance EBITDA and cash generation

Initially focused on the C&D waste market, each acquisition strengthens regional density, expands service capability and improves asset productivity across the platform

Large market with structural growth drivers

Confidential
Recurring waste generation
  • Households, services and industry produce waste every day
  • Repeat collections give steady, visible revenue
  • Local depots and permits keep these flows locked in
191m2022 tonnes total UK waste generated
Regulation & policy reform
  • Rising landfill taxes push waste into recycling
  • New rules require materials to be separated at source
  • Producers now need compliant collection partners
£8.65/t2026 UK lower landfill tax rate
£130.75/t2026 UK standard landfill tax rate
Shift towards circular economy
  • Sustainability targets favour integrated operators
  • Most construction waste is now recovered, not dumped
  • Sites that sort and reprocess capture the most value
94%2022 non-hazardous C&D waste recovery rate in England
Population growth and urbanisation
  • A growing population lifts baseline waste volumes
  • Denser cities need efficient collection networks
  • New housing drives skip hire and construction waste
+2.5%2024-2044 UK total population growth
Evolving waste streams
  • Customers want material-specific, not mixed, collection
  • Value comes from sorting and reprocessing on site
  • In-house capability wins bigger, higher-margin work

Fragmented long tail

Top 10 operators hold only c.36% of the market, leaving a large pool of regional and specialist targets

Regulation driving scale

Regulation-driven move to circular economy models, forcing incumbents to expand linear disposals to systems capable of treatment and recycling

Route density and integration upside

Consolidators can capture margin through denser routes, shared infrastructure and internalised processing

Generational founder succession dynamics

Many regional operators remain founder-led, creating opportunities for liquidity and succession-led transactions

What we have built today

Local route density across multiple regions

  • Embedded customer relationships delivering recurring local waste flows in every region we operate
  • Diversified geographic footprint creates multiple hubs from which to bolt on further acquisitions

Infrastructure and processing capability

  • Permits, transfer stations and land already secured provide scarce assets that cannot be replicated organically
  • Internal waste routing reduces third-party disposal leakage and captures margin in-group

Construction & demolition focus

  • High-volume C&D waste streams in-house: soils, hardcore, concrete and inert materials
  • Natural circular loop diverting from landfill and selling recycled outputs back into construction

Optimisation of the existing platform

Embedded growth within the day one platform through fully integrating the platform to realise both revenue and cost synergies

Confidential
Centralised bid, tender & sales support
01Central bid / tender function to coordinate larger customer opportunities across the group
02Shared sales support to professionalise proposals, pricing and customer follow-up
03Single pipeline view to identify opportunities across regions, services and existing accounts
Handling Waste In-House
01Own sites process waste that other providers were previously paid to take
02Reusing more materials lifts output and cuts disposal fees
03Using less landfill lifts profit margins by about 4-6%
Shared Trucks & Equipment
01Trucks and machinery are shared across the whole group on smarter routes
02Busier equipment means lower cost per job and less downtime
03Saves £1-2m a year versus running separate fleets
Stronger, Fairer Pricing
01One clear price list ends regions charging too little
02A simple digital sign-up wins and keeps more customers
03Adds 3-5% revenue per collection, with fewer customers lost
Smarter Buying & Lower Overheads
01Buying fuel, tyres and supplies as one group cuts costs 2-5%
02Running finance, HR and admin once removes duplicated cost
03Tighter cash control turns more profit into usable cash
Integrated Result

A lower-cost, higher-yield, infrastructure-backed platform with defensible regional density, improved asset productivity and a scalable operating model capable of supporting continued near-term and medium-term acquisition activity.
