W.A.S (Scotland) Ltd. 1997-2004
Launching in the clinical waste industry in 1997, Cliniwaste’s senior management team were responsible for the disposal, transport and management of NHS Scotland wastes with Waste Advisory Services (Scotland) Limited. We successfully managed these wastes and won multiple awards. This led us to introduce Waste Training, education and new clinical waste segregation methods to Scotland’s NHS. The training pioneered the management of clinical waste within NHS trusts to maintain compliance for the safe handling of clinical waste throughout the country. After success in doing so, W.A.S founders entered an exciting new chapter in 2004.
Ecowaste Group 2004-2012
Ecowaste was formed to continue to provide NHS waste management solutions from our base in Bristol. Beginning with managing Bath RUH, the business expanded across the country, before being sold to SRCL. After intervention from the Competition Commission, SRCL was requested to pass the business on, eventually becoming part of TRADEBE’s current infrastructure. This provided our management team with a further eight years of extensive experience, forging a name in the clinical waste management industry and building a proven pedigree amongst them.
