THE UK’s largest independently owned confidential waste shredding and paper recycling company is opening a state-of-the-art depot in Scotland .
The new Shredall Ltd site in Bellshill will be officially opened on November 14, marking the firm’s expansion of operations in the country.
The new 17,000 sq ft depot will serve as Shredall SDS Group’s regional hub and help it extend the reach of its shredding, recycling, and scanning services to a growing client base in Scotland. The site will also support the organisation’s environmental pledge by growing its innovative paper cup recycling service.
The depot will allow the group to provide textile, uniform, media and hard drive shredding both onsite and offsite, which the business estimates will see its annual revenue double in Scotland in the next financial year.
Shredall SDS Group has consistently expanded its operations in Scotland since its first depot opened in 2007. This latest investment will involve the recruitment of four new workers to operate machinery, as well as three new office staff, with the team set to double in size by January 2020.
Nik Williams, managing director at Shredall SDS Group, believes the depot represents the beginning of a new era for the business.
“We’re excited to move into our new Bellshill site and work with more Scottish businesses to securely dispose and recycle their confidential materials,” he said.
“We’ve invested in a new cutting-edge Vecoplan shredder, a Kadent PAAL Pacomat baler and new IT equipment to support our sales and logistics teams.
“Our Bellshill depot will allow us to reach both Glasgow and Edinburgh more quickly and help cut down our carbon footprint as part of our ongoing efforts to achieve a carbon neutral certification.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
