Thanks to You – We're Expanding Our Recycling Efforts Together

We want to start by saying thank you to you and all our partners. Your continued support has been vital in helping us achieve our goal of recycling as much office furniture as possible, keeping countless chairs, desks, and other office furniture out of landfills. Thanks to your efforts and ours, we’ve increased our recycling output by 25% in 2023.

As we continue to expand our team and capabilities, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead to serve and support you even more effectively.

To meet the growing demand, we’ve made important investments in our facilities, enabling us to recycle and refurbish used office chairs and desks more efficiently. This means that more of the essentials you need will be readily available when you need them. Additionally, our expanded team will ensure quicker responses to your requests and more streamlined processing of the materials from your projects.

We are aiming to double our recycling capacity and return twice as much material to our partners, within the next year.

With almost 20 years of experience helping small businesses to succeed, Dan Wood has joined us to support the team and help plan our expansion across the UK. So we can make an even bigger impact for our partners and ensure that Coggin SOS is the obvious choice, no matter where you are in the country.

Many of you know Dawn and Jess, who have been working together in the office for a while. We are mentoring Jess to help support our partners day-to-day. Dawn will now be helping us lead our recycling team but will continue supporting our customers. 

Ida has joined us to help our team to help us do a much better job of keeping in contact. She will be helping us let you know what has been recycled or refurbished, enabling you to do far more with your customers. Will is going to be joining her later in the year, to help us lead our offices. You won't hear much from him, except if your account is overdue . . .

(Is anyone else seeing Daniel Craig here?)

Meet Gavin, Mac, Macaulay, Dan, John, and Kai. Your full-time recycling team, who are supported by a small group of additional staff on a semi-regular basis.

Mac has served the industry for over 12 years and will be supporting our team as it develops. Gavin, our new Recycling Manager, has spent many years on construction sites. Interested by the work we are doing and our family values, he decided he wanted to spend the rest of his career doing good in the world. He is joined by team leader Dan, who, following 9 years of service in the army, will ensure your repairs, orders, and collections are handled with clockwork precision. Kai and Macaulay, are learning the trade, supported by John, who is an experienced member of the team and family.

Sadly, we do have to say goodbye to our Patch. Who, following 10 years of service, felt it was the right time for a change. He goes with our best wishes, as he will now be a forester. Helping manage and conserve the amazing vistas available at the Lake District. Delivering vital work that will keep the Lake District looking picturesque for years to come.

The recycling team is expected to expand and grow as we handle far more for our partners. With hiring expected to happen regularly each quarter.
