Last week’s Waste Net Zero conference was another excellent opportunity to bring together customers, policymakers, local authorities and industry leaders to discuss how we accelerate the UK’s transition to a circular economy. This event is one I genuinely look forward to every year. It provides a valuable forum to listen to our customers, share ideas and explore how collaboration across the entire value chain can unlock more sustainable solutions. The conversations reinforced that achieving Net Zero and building a truly circular economy cannot be delivered by any one organisation alone! Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such engaging discussions. Well done to team Biffa for continuing to invest in an event that challenges thinking, inspires action and strengthens partnerships across our industry! #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Recycling #NetZero #collaboration #biffa

Another calendar favourite today, our annual celebration lunch for the top-performing commercial colleagues, saw an expansion this year. We welcomed representatives from all sales and account management roles within our Commercial Collections division and sales colleagues from our Specialist Services team. It was invaluable to bring together so many of our top performers from across the UK for collaboration and sharing stories of their successful FY26 and discuss plans for FY27. A huge thank you to all the leaders who attended and supported and congratulations to all of the winners! #biffa #sales #accountmanagement #bestinclass #collaboration Kate Birtles James Sherrad Dr. Angela Ellis Tiffany Hirst Barry Chapman Chris Wing

A productive start to a busy week with team engagement lunches in the north. Today I travelled to Newcastle to spend a couple of valuable hours with our North East, Humberside and Yorkshire Sales and Account Management teams. The open discussion was really engaging and I received useful feedback that we’ll consider as we finalise our engagement plan for FY27. I then travelled up to Edinburgh to meet with team Scotland tomorrow. I’m looking forward to further collaborative discussions! #biffa #sales #accountmanagement #engagement #collaboration
