UKCM Employee Celebrates National Awards Success

Richard Delooze, Sales Director of Winsford-based UK Container Maintenance (UKCM) has been honoured as a ‘rising star’ in a major industry awards scheme.

Locally-based Richard was recognised as a ‘status holder’ in the ‘35-under-35 Awards’, which celebrates young achievers and upcoming influencers in the waste and recycling industry who are ‘striving for professional excellence, promoting industry innovation and giving back to his or her company or community’.

The highly prestigious award recognises Richard’s hugely significant role in the business - forging very strong relationships with customers, and contributing to its very recent successes.

The scheme is organised by letsrecycle.com in partnership with Grundon.

Awards judge Neil Grundon, said: “The Status Holders have shone through in their inspirational entries and congratulations to them on their success.”

Over the years he’s contributed hugely to the growth of the business and he’s now looking at innovation and taking the business to the next level.

Commenting on his award win, Richard states: “It was an honour to be commended in the ‘35-under-35’ Awards, and be recognised amongst such industry-leading talent. I thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony and meeting the other winners, which was the icing on the cake.”

Established in 1998, UKCM, the UK’s largest family owned container repair and refurbishment company is dedicated to the refurbishment of all types of waste and recycling containers. UKCM works across the country offering waste companies and local authorities’ mobile repairs, as well as factory-based services at its head office located in Winsford, Cheshire.

The process brings old, and often unwanted, waste containers back to life instead of them going to scrap. The business model – refurbishment over replacement - is simple and for a third of the price of replacing a container, UKCM can restore the unit to full working order.
