Having served as LARAC’s chief executive for seven years, Mr Marshall, 50, will leave his current role and take up his new position at CIWM on 1 December 2021.
He will be responsible for the strategic development, management and delivery of CIWM’s policy, technical and knowledge capability.

Mr Marshall said: “This is an amazing opportunity to join an organisation which is firmly positioned at the forefront of the battle against resource scarcity and climate change.
“I look forward to leading CIWM’s policy and technical capability and helping to harness its creative and innovative thinking to bring about meaningful change.”

In his new role Mr Marshall will report to Sarah Poulter, the group chief executive officer. On Mr Marshall’s appointment, she said: “Lee is hugely respected across the entire resource and waste management sector and his appointment will further bolster what is already an outstanding CIWM leadership team.
“CIWM is committed to a world beyond waste and Lee will play a vital role in ensuring we continue to support our members in leading the development of more resource efficient and circular economies.”
