We are excited to work with such a passionate team with whom we share many common values.
Paul Hodgkiss, CEO of Roydon Recycling
Paul has worked within the Waste and Recycling industry for over 23 years and has seen significant changes in technologies, attitudes towards waste and a realisation that things much change. These factors have allowed him and his team to take huge steps forwards within the industry but he understands that there is still a long way to go.
Paul has a strong commitment to sustainability and is dedicated to helping clients find effective solutions to reduce their environmental footprint.
The team at Roydon Recycling has significantly grown over the last few years, as well as achieving great results. The investment from Palatine will enable us to multiply our positive impact with new and existing clients, as we aim for a fully circular economy.
We are incredibly driven by what we do and are thrilled to have found an investment partner with the same passion, and that has a track record of both impact investing and a deep commitment to ESG over many years.
