Loyal – several members of Greenbank ’ s friendly team have been with the firm for more than 15 years .
ON A ROLL
Strong relationships with firms including bakery giants Greggs have helped drive waste expert ’ s success
From its base here on Teesside , Greenbank Recycling Solutions provides a wide range of recycling and waste equipment to a diverse range of companies nationwide .
This typically involves an onsite waste audit , which is a bespoke evaluation of a business ’ s waste processes to offer innovative solutions to enhance cost effectiveness , sustainability and efficiency .
Greenbank also offers maintenance and servicing packages through its skilled Safecontractor-approved team of engineers based in strategic locations around the UK to minimise any downtime and reduce its carbon footprint .
Additionally Greenbank has its own workshop and production team , which is responsible for preparing machines and parts for installations as well as reconditioning machines for resale .
Over the past 30 years , the team has successfully helped more than 3,000 companies achieve cost savings and improved recycling rates .
Greenbank works with companies including well-known brands such as Ikea , Lidl , Currys and the nation ’ s favourite , North-East-based Greggs , famous for its sweet treats and delicious savouries , especially the beloved sausage roll !
The partnership with Greggs spans nearly three decades , with Greenbank supplying a range of compactors and balers to the baker ’ s sites nationwide .
The firm is proud to have evolved and grown with Greggs over the years . Greggs now has more than 2,500 shops and Greenbank has supported the firm in diverting more than 99 per cent of its waste from landfill , an impressive achievement – especially when you consider the figure was just five per cent back in 2001 .
Greggs project manager Peter Boughton says : “ Greenbank are such a good team . They are very knowledgeable and all very passionate about the equipment they sell and the service .
“ They all know each other . You ’ re not numbers , you quote each other ’ s names . You know the people who go out to the sites . They all work together and all help each other – a nice tight-knit team who are very responsive .”
Greenbank is fortunate to have a number of employees who have dedicated more than 15 years to the company , which it believes is a significant factor in its success , helping build and maintain relationships with customers .
The firm aims to keep customer service at the heart of everything it does . Asked just how good Greenbank ’ s customer service is , Peter says : “ It ’ s superb . Second to none – a lovely company to deal with . They are competitive , responsive and friendly . I can strongly recommend them to anyone .”
Another beneficial and longstanding client relationship has been with the Swift Group , which has manufactured reliable , high-quality caravans for more than 60 years .
The firm ’ s head of facilities Graham Jacobs says : “ Greenbank Recycling Solutions have provided the Swift Group with waste recycling machinery since 2017 , including vertical balers and static compactors .
“ The Greenbank team , particularly the engineers , have been great . They are very knowledgeable and always ensure health and safety requirements are adhered to .
