From the desk of
Nathan Bowles
Welcome all to a new edition of
our company newsletter. From
your feedback forms received
at the Spring Staff Meeting, one
of the things you asked for was
some more communications
about what’s going on around the
company, so the intention is to
release these when we have things
to tell you about.

Executive board appointed
At the Spring Staff Meeting
Nathan Bowles, Chief Executive
of Smart Solutions, announced
the commissioning of a new
executive board. He said: “In
order to sustain and build on
Smart Solutions’ fantastic growth
over the last six years, I need a
trusted and robust board to help
drive the company forward.
“This is a significant milestone in Smart
Solutions’ development, and the team
of experts we now have advising the
company will help to map out and
deliver our future. The board brings
together a pool of extensive expertise
in Wales, the UK and internationally.
“Since establishing the executive board
two months ago, we have already
created a strategic growth plan to
double our size and revenue over the
next five years.
“I’m confident that the appointments
will not only ensure that this plan is
delivered but that Smart Solutions is
run efficiently and with full compliance,
yet continues to be entrepreneurial and
reactive to our clients’ changing needs.
The appointment of the board will help
us penetrate new areas and emerging
markets.”
Smart Solutions has enjoyed a period of
strong growth since it was established
in 2007. In the 2012-2013 financial year,
Smart Solutions increased turnover
by more than 50 per cent from £20
million to £42 million, and it is aiming
to increase its turnover by up to 80 per
cent by its tenth anniversary in 2018.
“The team at Smart Solutions has
worked tirelessly during our first six
years in business to establish ourselves
as a quality brand in Wales and the UK.”
If you have contributions, stories,
case studies or ideas you’d like
to share with your colleagues
inside this format, please email
them to Paul Cleverley. I do hope
you will get some value from this
communication and feel free to
pass it on to anyone who you feel
might be interested.
This month I would like to make
you aware of the last edition of
MRW magazine and its new cover
boy. Whilst still dealing with the
embarrassment of the front cover,
the feature is a testament to the
level of commitment and good
work we’ve been doing in the
Waste Sector. That the magazine
should feel it worthy to dedicate
four pages of its content outlining
Smart Solutions’ contribution
to the industry and taking very
seriously the plans we have for the
future, it is a real compliment of
our strength, market position and
reputation that you should all be
very proud of.
Cheers
Nathan
