A WESTBROOK business has won big at the 'Awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management.'

EMR is a company that specialises in sustainable materials, and is celebrating being named 'Business of the Year' at this year's awards ceremony.

The company picked up two awards at the ceremony on Thursday, May 11, and has been named Recycling Business of the Year, and Metals Recycling Business of the Year.

These awards recognised EMR's decades of experience in the reuse and recycling industry.

This recognition was a celebration of the organisation's commitment to turning end-of-life materials into valuable resources - this includes consumer products, end-of-life vehicles, and materials from industry, construction, and demolition.

EMR is based off Delta Crescent in Westbrook, and runs its operations from Sirius House.

Ian Sheppard, managing director at EMR, said: “We’re very proud to be recognised for ‘Metals Recycling Business of the Year’ and to also win ‘Recycling Business of the Year’ is incredible.

“We want to say a huge thank you to everyone that supports our mission.

"Without our loyal customers and our passionate, dedicated and hardworking team, EMR would not be the global leader it is today.

“The EMR team is working hard to provide our customers with innovative, high-quality products so that the materials we use don’t need to be extracted from the planet, and we can eventually avoid depleting natural resources."

Ian added: "Every day we are making good progress to reach our targets for net-zero operations and we’re keen to help everyone in our value chain do the same.”
