When I was asked to write an opinion piece I thought it would be a good opportunity to reflect upon my first year as managing director of LondonWaste, and to look at one of the key areas that LondonWaste, and the whole industry has to tackle. I arrived having spent time in a wide range of roles and sectors - military, aviation, waste, water, construction and renewable energy; and also having spent a similar amount of time in the public and private sector, which is very helpful given the nature of LondonWaste as a company. On arrival, I found that the company's large EfW plant at the Edmonton EcoPark and I were of a similar age, so we both have similar challenges and requirements for investment for improvements! However, my ops director informs me that she loves the EfW plant and that she has totally different feelings towards me!
