Their proactive approach has been so successful it has enabled Jem to reach and maintain our goals of ‘zero waste to landfill’ to all of our clients involved in the partnership. Their team are constantly looking for ways to help Jem save money and deliver new and innovative ways to use our waste. I would not hesitate in recommending New Horizons. On a personal note, you will not meet a more friendly and helpful team of people to work with.
