35 Under 35 is an awards programme, organised by letsrecycle.com in partnership with Grundon.
The awards identify the ‘young guns’ in the sector who are striving for professional excellence, promoting industry innovation and giving back to their company, local authority or community. James Piper, managing director of Ecosurety, was announced as one of the winners of the 35 Under 35 awards programme.
Fantastic recognition
Speaking of the achievement, James said “In recent years we’ve made huge strides as a company towards our goal of helping companies make meaningful and tangible impacts on UK recycling through their producer responsibility compliance obligations. This award is fantastic recognition and it goes without saying that I’m extremely proud of our fantastic team who have helped to make it happen.”
Lorraine Milburn, Head of Human Resources at Grundon, who was one of the judges, said: “Grundon was delighted to play its part in this inaugural event and we were very excited to see the calibre of all those who entered. The judging was extremely tough but all are extremely worthy winners.
“It is reassuring to know that the future of our industry has such a wealth of up-and-coming talent which will stand us in good stead during the challenging times ahead. We hope these awards will develop and go on to become a real benchmark for future excellence and something that younger professionals will strive towards during their careers.”
