Deborah’s reasons for investing
Whilst it's difficult to get too excited about waste management it was clear that Paul and his business partner Colin had identified a real need in a fairly traditional marketplace. They had already set themselves up as experts in the construction waste recycling field and the company was showing strong early trading results. Paul came over as smart, knowledgeable and focused. He had his finger on the pulse in terms of current legislation and he convinced me that this legislation has the potential to generate substantial new business for Prowaste.
Latest update from Paul
We're hard at work planning our growth strategy which includes sourcing new vehicles, supplies of wheelie bins and staff planning. With Deborahs help we've also just launched our new website. On top of all this, we're incredibly busy with the day to day running of the business!
