Oliver Cowmeadow joins Ward following an eight-year career in bid writing which has covered clinical services, occupational health and most recently water, waste and resource management. He will focus on industrial and commercial waste tenders, working across Ward’s different departments and recycling services to secure new public and private sector waste management opportunities.

He commented: “I’m looking forward to setting up and managing this new function and working with others in the team to scale the opportunities for Ward’s waste management services.”

Adam Montroy, Commercial Manager (Hazardous Waste). Responsible for driving the commercial growth of Ward’s hazardous waste division through new business development and strategic account management, Adam will also work closely with Oliver on tender and procurement activities.
With more than a decade of sales experience, the last five of which have been in the asbestos, demolition and waste and recycling industries, Adam’s previously held senior sales roles have spanned trade waste services, commodity collections, hazardous waste, management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and secure destruction services.
Adam commented: “Ward has a great reputation, a strong culture and a really exciting opportunity for growth. I wanted to join a business where I could make a genuine commercial impact and help develop the hazardous waste division.”

East Midlands based Daryl Devlin, a former Regional Business Development Manager for B&M Waste Services will work with large clients to help streamline waste operations including improving sustainability, recycling rates and managing waste costs.

On joining Ward: Daryl commented: “The chance to join a successful family run business is a fantastic opportunity. I felt it would be a great fit for my own development and ambition and the opportunity to work with Denise for the first time, to support Ward with its ambitious growth plans.”

The trio of new roles form part of Ward’s expanding business development team headed up by Denise Banks, Ward’s Head of Sales (Waste), who commented: “I’m really excited to welcome Oliver, Adam and Daryl to the Ward team. All three have a strong background within the industrial and commercial waste sector and bring excellent skills in identifying opportunities, building relationships and working with customers to deliver cost effective and compliant complete waste management solutions. I’m looking forward to what we can achieve over the coming months.”
