We just had to share these images of our wonderful floral displays in Carterton, Oxfordshire. Ubico installed the beds, which are made up with plants grown at our in-house nursery in Cheltenham.

Today we’re busy loading up end-of-life wheeled bin wheels and axles and delivering them to a local primary school ready for re-use as racing car components!

Huge congratulations to one of our newest LGV Class 2 drivers, William Miles. Willie had been a waste and recycling loader for around 8 years previously, before driving one of our 7.5 tonne narrow access rounds.

We’re incredibly lucky to have such a fantastic team working for us throughout the company. Whilst all of our teams work extremely hard for us day in and day out, we do our utmost to recognise those stand out individuals that go ‘above and beyond’ to provide outstanding customer service. So far this month we have awarded certificates and gift cards to three employees from our Cotswold depot under our employee recognition scheme and we hope to be able to recognise many more in the future!

In recent months our in-house fleet team have been incredibly busy working with service commissioners to produce detailed vehicle specifications for new vehicles across our Cotswold, West Oxfordshire, Tewkesbury and Cheltenham contracts.

The theme for entries is: what does the environment mean to you?

We just had to share these amazing pictures taken some 20 years apart. The first one shows our Cheltenham Workshop Supervisor Wayne Kirby and his young son, Tom.
