The acquisition sees Helistrat expand its waste management business by over £1.5 million per year and comprises a number of blue chip clients including Britvic, Birdseye and Hain Daniels. The deal will also enable ecosurety to focus on its core service offering as a compliance scheme. Commenting on the acquisition Helistrat’s CEO, Harvey Laud, said: “This acquisition is clear evidence of our commitment to growth both organically and through targeted acquisitions. “We would like to welcome our new customers to Helistrat and look forward to building on ecosurety’s high quality service levels, whilst working to optimise the environmental and commercial benefits of improved materials management.” Steve Clark, ecosurety’s chairman, said: “This strategic agreement allows ecosurety to focus on its core business of environmental compliance, where we’re challenging the market to bring ever-greater efficiency and innovation for the benefit of our members. “Over the past six years, we’ve worked with several of the same clients as Helistrat and been impressed by their focus on supply chain accountability – one of the most critical areas when dealing with waste. “With ecosurety facing so much opportunity to grow its core compliance business, the time was right to transfer our waste arm to Helistrat, who are experts in waste and share our aspirations for excellent customer service, continual improvement and resource efficiency.” A small team of employees responsible for supporting the ecosurety waste business will transfer over to Helistrat. Monthind Clean LLP has achieved exor accreditation, demonstrating the company’s ability to meet the rigorous pre-qualification requirements within the private and public sectors. The East Anglia-based firm recently received accreditation from exor, whose standards are recognised as being amongst the highest in its industry. Tony Felgate, Monthind partner, said: “At Monthind, we strive to exceed the expectations of our clients; exor accreditation demonstrates our capabilities and further underpins the trust our clients place in us.” Established in 1997 to supply an efficient, outsourced supply chain service, exor understands that the management of risk is a central issue in the procuring of goods and services, adopting a thorough and robust approach to independently check and validate supplier information. Only suppliers and contractors that can attain and maintain these high standards gain admission to the approved exor supplier database. John Kinge, technical director of exor said: “Organisations need to be able to ensure that their supply partners are reliable, financially stable and compliant with all relevant legislation. A third party accreditation scheme can be an efficient way in which to manage complex compliance issues such as these. “With robust supplier management in place, the company at the top of the supply chain will have the confidence they need to outsource vital services, which removes the hassle of verification and gives piece of mind that they are adhering to regulation and industry best practice.” HELISTRAT ACQUIRES ECOSURETY’S WASTE MANAGEMENT BUSINESS MONTHIND CLEAN LLP HAS THE ‘EXOR’ FACTOR
