Environmental and waste services specialist The M&M Group has appointed Tim Smith as its new Group Finance Director to oversee the company’s strategic direction in line with its growth plans.
Tim joins the business with more than 10 years’ experience in finance, having held senior roles in the technology, rural and tertiary sectors for firms operating nationally. He is based at the group’s Cassington headquarters near Witney, Oxfordshire, and has joined the Board of Directors with immediate effect.
His responsibilities will span The M&M Group’s three entities: M&M Waste Solutions, Maylarch Environmental Ltd and M&M Zero, which together specialise in waste collection and recycling, asbestos removal, demolition and land remediation.
This year, the group achieved record recycling rates, with more than 97 per cent of materials — equating to 141,679 tonnes — collected from skips and demolition sites diverted from landfill and sent onward for recycling.
Tim said: “The M&M Group has been committed to delivering safe and environmentally sustainable solutions across Oxfordshire and the south for more than 50 years.
“I’m really pleased to join the team during a progressive period where the effects of new behaviours into how we manage waste collected from sites our team operates on are having a tangible impact on the environment.
“It’s widely assumed waste that is thrown into skips, or removed from demolition sites, is destined for landfill – the reality could not be different.
“Our outstanding track record for recycling discarded materials is a key reason behind our growth, and is why I’m thrilled to be onboard.”
The company has also appointed Charlotte Warner as Finance Manager and Sarah Moore as Finance Team Leader, following Louise Spencer-Matthews’ decision to retire after 11 years as Group Finance Manager.
Managing Director Rob Fluckiger said: “Tim has a proven track record in overseeing financial operations and we’re pleased to welcome him, Charlotte and Sarah to their positions in the team.
“We also thank Louise for her outstanding dedication to The M&M Group since 2014, and on behalf of the team we wish her a happy retirement.
“It’s been a breakthrough decade for The M&M Group, with Maylarch joining our operation in 2018 and the launch of M&M Zero following the pandemic.
“Coupled with our record recycling rates, we are well placed to continue supporting communities, businesses and individuals in creating a healthier, safer and more sustainable environment through collaboration and the very latest technology.”
