Willshee’s Waste and Recycling was founded in 1984 with one lorry and ten skips. Today it has transformed into a leading waste management business that handles an impressive 300,000 tonnes per year. Thanks to the team’s hard work, the company forecasts 20% year-on-year growth, and by quickly grasping opportunities Willshee’s has become a formidable presence in this sector.
The family-owned business has now passed to the second generation, with Dean Willshee taking the reins alongside an experienced senior management team. This has enabled the company to provide comprehensive services to both commercial and domestic customers across the East Midlands. With stricter and evolving recycling and waste management legislation now affecting businesses across the UK, Willshee’s is well placed to provide knowledge and professional advice to all its customers.
The growth and scale of the business has led it to invest in new equipment from Kadant PAAL, which has worked with Willshee’s for many years. Kadant PAAL and Willshee’s began their working relationship many years ago, supplying, installing and maintaining a range of PAAL and Dicom products.
Kadant PAAL Ltd, based in Derbyshire, has a vast resource of knowledge and prides itself in providing the best solutions and equipment for your needs. By working with businesses and having the ability to understand their processes, needs and scope of growth, we are able to offer from our extensive range of equipment the ‘best fit’.
In this instance, Willshee’s Waste & Recycling replaced its Konti 600 G, which was originally manufactured in 2011. This horizontal baler had been a highly productive workhorse for the company meeting the intensive requirements that this industry dictates.
The Konti 500 J has been the new investment of choice, and we appreciate these decisions are not made lightly. PAAL was founded in 1854 and has a long-proven history manufacturing high performance balers. The current robust construction of the Konti J baler delivers optimum performance and reliability, even under the most demanding operating conditions. The tried and tested design of this baler delivers benefits which are crucial to businesses, such as high throughput and bale weights, low energy consumption, easy access tying unit, simple operation and maintenance.
At Kadant PAAL Ltd, we pride ourselves in providing the right solutions and forging relationships which stand the test of time.
