Just to say I have left WRAP after 14+ amazing years. It has been an enormous privilege to work alongside some of the most passionate and driven people you could ever wish to meet. Now it’s time to rest, reflect and consider my next steps. Merry Christmas and stay safe. pic.twitter.com/LrS4vxo3VY

Mr Maddox had worked alongside chief executive Marcus Gover and held the responsibility for the UK programme.
Review
Mr Gover has commissioned a radical review of the resources charity which is expected to be announced in the New Year. The organisation recently appointed restructuring specialist Charles Darley as managing director. On his Linked In page, Mr Darley explains that he “has delivered major change programs delivering much improved profits and reversing previous revenue declines acting as an employee or Director.”
Market development
Mr Maddox joined WRAP in 2006 and became Director in 2016. He worked on the market development of recycled materials, built WRAP’s strategy and planning function, and managed WRAP’s resource efficiency programmes for Defra. He developed WRAP’s new business strategy around a circular economy framework, and in 2015 established the Resource London partnership with the London Waste and Recycling Board. As Director for WRAP UK, he is responsible for WRAP’s work on food, textiles, plastics and recycling in the UK.
Before WRAP, Peter spent nearly 20 years working for BP in the petrochemicals sector in UK and France. He was lead chemist in a commercialisation of a new plastics technology in Marseilles for 3 years, then returned to London to establish and manage BP’s innovation partnership with Imperial College.
A statement about the restructuring of WRAP and the departure of Mr Maddox has been requested.
