CoGoGo are pleased to have been given the opportunity to manage the sale of Grassroots Recycling limited which is a well-established Waste business with a renowned reputation amongst residents. This is a superb opportunity to take on a high turnover local business in an area which still offers considerable scope for improvement.
Grassroots Recycling Limited was founded by the current owner in 2006 when he identified a gap in the market and the business has been a real labour of love for him, accruing many regular customers and a burgeoning reputation.
Alas this great little business is now being sold, albeit reluctantly and with a heavy heart only due to the owners wish to take a well-earned retirement, he is keen to see his beloved waste business pass to an ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner who can take it to the next level.
Grassroots Recycling has approximately 1500 agricultural customers and approximately 200 horticultural / market garden / garden centre members. The business also works with numerous skip companies and waste transfer stations recycling their plastic and cardboard waste and thus keeping it away from landfill. Customers have the option of delivering themselves to the site in Warminster or having their waste material collected.
The business prides itself on possibly being unique in being able to deal with most plastics and cardboard from the agricultural and horticultural industry.
The sale will include the company website (grassrootsrecyclingltd.co.uk) and the business enjoys great visibility on the internet.
