Meet our team of experts! At Flame UK our knowledgeable and friendly team can help your business with all things waste.

First up is Louisa, our Account Support Administrator. Louisa makes sure that all of our customers’ waste collections are completed on time and deals with any queries or issues that arise. She has a background in customer services and believes that building great relationships with clients is the key to excellent customer service.

As well as being an expert in waste, Louisa is also an expert in languages and can speak Turkish, Italian, French and some Cantonese!

Louisa tells us how installing waste equipment at your site can save on costs and environmental impact: “installing a waste compactor can really impact how your company handles waste and have a positive impact on your business. A compactor, which can be used for cardboard and plastics, means that you are able to safely store more waste prior to it being collected. Compacting the cardboard means that the number of collections is reduced, saving money and reducing the amount of collections and associated journeys, reducing your environmental impact. Our customers have noticed a real difference since Flame UK helped them install compactors at their sites”

Waste Crime – how to protect your business

Although notoriously difficult to prosecute, we have seen in the news over the past few weeks a number of cases where people have been successfully prosecuted for waste crime – both illegal dumping and making fraudulent claims about recycling.

Waste crime and fly tipping are on the increase, and can affect your business in a number of ways – you could be held responsible for any of your business waste that is not disposed of properly, even if you pay someone to take it away.

With fly-tipping and illegal dumping on the increase, and illegal waste sites springing up more regularly, make sure you know where your waste is going. Click here to read the full story.
