Welcome to 2024 dear readers! Does it feel different to you? It certainly does to us! “And why is that?” we hear you screaming. What a noisy lot you are! Well, we are so excited to announce the launch of a brand new feature this year! Conscious Companies is about Big Businesses with Bigger Impact. The feature will champion those companies whose business isn’t in waste, but they make waste their business. Our very first one kicks off with hotel giants Whitbread, who were very excited to tell us all about Premier Inn’s brand new sustainable hotel in Swindon. People and the push for change is the theme of this issue. Too often the efforts of those behind the scenes goes unnoticed, and what better way to start as we mean to go on, than by championing their efforts! Kelly Tanks take the top spot as our cover story, celebrating 10 years in the business.
