A Company Shaping the Circular Economy
A word from our MD
Leadership team
John Coull
Managing Director (elect)I joined Waste Efficiency in March 2025 as Managing Director (elect). With over 30 years’ experience in the waste and resource management sector, I am a commercially focused business leader, with a track record in delivering business growth. I have significant experience and knowledge of business leadership, business development, cost management, sales and tendering, large contract negotiation and management, finance and M&A.
Bryan Mecrow
Finance DirectorI have been with Waste Efficiency since late 2023 as Head of Finance. Bringing a wealth of experience from other industries, all of whom produced waste! Always looking to improve finance processes and quality of information produced for the benefit of the wider company, our customers and suppliers. When not doing numbers stuff I love playing and watching football, travelling as much as possible, listening to hair metal and watching low budget zombie movies.
Jack Hesketh
Commercial ManagerPassionate about sustainability, I joined Waste Efficiency in 2022 to support across the sales and marketing functions. My experience lies mainly in finance and technology businesses across London and the Southwest but realising some of the larger issues facing the environment, I’ve transitioned into waste management to bring my experience to more sustainable causes. In my spare time I enjoy running and reading (not at the same time), while I can also often be found stumbling around a squash court.
Chris Stringer
Head of Service DeliveryHaving spent the last 15 years working in the waste and cleaning sector, I became increasingly aware of the sustainability and environmental challenges we face. This realisation led me to join Waste Efficiency in 2020 and I have not looked back since. As the Head of Service Delivery, my focus is on ensuring that every customer receives exceptional service tailored to their unique needs, as well as driving both environmental and operational improvements. Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, walking our dogs (which occasionally leads to a trip to the local) and travelling. I love sampling foods from across the world and trying to recreate those dishes when I get home.
Cath Jackson
Health, Safety and Quality ManagerI’m an experienced SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality) Manager in the waste management industry, with a background across waste and cleaning. I’m all about raising safety standards and improving how things run day to day. Sustainability is something I’m really passionate about, and I like to combine my technical know-how with a people-focused approach to keep things compliant and always moving forward. Outside of work, I’ve completed three marathons – proof of my perseverance and commitment! I’m also a big Wrexham AFC supporter and a huge NFL fan.
