Biffa has announced its Integrated Waste Management (IWM) division achieved a tenfold revenue increase during 2010. It says winning new customers such as Gatwick airport, Drax power station and Sheffield Forgemasters is behind the division's success.
Following a strategic review and restructuring, IWM secured over £5m worth of contracts from seven new customers in 2010. These were Gatwick airport, Drax power station, Burton's Biscuits, Maple Leaf Bakery, food processor Moy Park, paints and coatings manufacturer PPG, and steel producer and engineer Sheffield Forgemasters.
The division has also tendered for new waste and recycling management contracts worth a further £5m from prospects in the automotive, food manufacturing, transport infrastructure, chemicals and pharmaceutical sectors.
