The Lord-Lieutenant said: “I am delighted to have presented Reconomy with the Queen’s Award for Enterprise on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen. The award is richly deserved and recognises the outstanding innovation Reconomy have achieved in the management of housebuilding, construction, commercial and industrial waste in the UK.”

This award recognises the efforts of our whole team, and everyone at Reconomy should be rightly proud of the part they have played in this fantastic achievement. We look forward to continuing to innovate and realising the associated environmental, social and business value for all our stakeholders.”
