Growing Newport-based junk waste recycling business Junk4Joy Limited has announced the appointment of Lindsey Kelly as its new operations manager.

Miss Kelly was previously contracts and environmental manager for Sims Group UK Limited. The newly-formed position will require Lindsey to manage day-to-day operations, conduct environmental audits and tender national waste management contracts.

Lyndsey said: “I’m thrilled to be joining Junk4Joy during this exciting period in the company’s history. There is a clear vision for the business to expand its operation across Wales and I’m confident my experience within the environmental services industry can help achieve these ambitions.”

Lindsey is the fifth employee to join the team this year following a growth in demand for a labour inclusive alternative to domestic skip hire and waste disposal services in Wales.

James Norvill, managing director of Junk4Joy, said: “Lindsey joins us with a proven track record in contracts management and environmental auditing. We are determined to establish Junk4Joy as a household name for domestic and commercial junk waste recycling and we are confident Lindsey’s skills can help us achieve this goal.”

Junk4Joy operates an environmentally friendly alternative to domestic skip hire across South East Wales where more than 90 per cent of all junk waste collected is reused and recycled at its waste recycling facility in Newport.
