NWH Group has acquired Armstrong Waste Management Limited, the waste management division of industrial services contractor the Armstrong Group, for an undisclosed fee.
The Scottish waste management firm says its acquisition of the Dumfries-based business is expected to add a further 10% to its annual turnover.
Mark Williams is CEO of the NWH Group
Mark Williams, CEO of the NWH Group, said: “In line with our strategy for growth through geographical expansion, we are delighted to announce our acquisition of Armstrong Waste Management.
“Armstrong’s growth has been driven by a passion for making things happen, and we share the same commitment to family values and a desire to deliver a positive difference to the world in which we live.”
While Armstrong Waste Management is to be rebranded as NWH Group, it is to retain its current staff.
Agriculture
Formed in 1965 as an agricultural contractor serving the Kirkcudbrightshire farming community, the Armstrong Group operates in sectors including construction, property and renewable energy.
“We are delighted to be passing the reins to a business that shares the same customer-focus as we do”
The rebranded Armstrong Waste Management will continue to operate from its Glasgow Road site and provide skip hire, trade waste services and materials recycling to the south west and central Scotland and the north of England.
Armstrong Group founder Jock Armstrong said: “NWH share the same family values and we are delighted to be passing the reins to a business that shares the same customer-focus as we do, and I’m confident that the longstanding relationships we have built over the years will be nurtured by NWH Group.
“Our staff and customers will be in safe hands, and we look forward to seeing the business grow and develop.”
