Rob Gamble, Senior Associate at
Bright Management Associates

Runners up J and F Powner Ltd & Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council and Biogen Greenfinch & Ealing Borough Council were also commended for their excellent collaboration with public establishments.

Bright Management Associates and Army London District win Best Partnership Award
“Lots of sweat, effort and commitment, have gone into this scheme,” the judges said of the winning entry.
In the space of 12 months the MoD Army London District, achieved a recycling rate of 79% by working with local authorities. Recycling containers were introduced in barracks, commercial waste containers were replaced with recycling containers and the reduction of waste collected for disposal has led to significant savings, freeing up cash for other purposes. A report by the MoD said if the scheme was replicated throughout the UK it could save the Army £3.3 million.
The initiative could bring about cultural change and “break new perimeters” the judges added. They also praised the willingness of waste management consultants
Bright Management Associates
to work with different councils and help the Ministry of Defence (MoD) Army London District to recycle more and reduce waste.
“They’ve taken on a really difficult task, have put in the time and effort to work with different local authorities and achieved a good performance. Now they have a good base, they can expand across the district and this can be further replicated,” the judges commented.
