Recycling business expands with HSBC deal
Leeds Paper Recycling will open what it claims will be Leeds’ first super materials recycling facility next month, creating 30 jobs. The move to new premises has been backed by funding from HSBC.
The business, which currently employs 120 people, said its recycling facility will be capable of processing more than 500,000 tons of waste every year.
Managing director Jamie Todd said: "Our family business started with my father and one van and it is a testament to the hard work of the team ever since then that we are now able to open Leeds’ first super materials recycling facility.
"With HSBC’s support we are looking forward to driving the business’ further growth and achieving our long-term vision of using our own waste residues to power our collection vehicles, our recycling facility and provide power to the local area."
