(PRWEB) July 22, 2006 -- The AWM group, waste management solution providers, is celebrating its achievements after it was announced last Friday that they had won the ‘Most Promising New Business Award’ at this years prestigious Black Country Chamber and Commerce Business Championships. The AWM Group had been nominated for two awards. Paul Woodhead, the Managing Director, for the AWM Group, specialist waste removers was nominated for, ‘Entrepreneur of the Year Award’ but on the night came away with ‘Most Promising New Business Award.’

Launched in 2004 as PPF Waste Management Ltd, Midlands based AWM Group has grown phenomenally in the last two years. The company’s success lies in its eye for the niche areas of waste management. This has led to the development of unique service solutions for the disposal of hazardous waste that do not already exist within the marketplace.

Asbestoclear™ and WEEEclear™ are just two of the groups exciting projects that caught the eye of the judges. Asbestoclear™ which has provided builders and tradesmen with a brand new concept in safe, accessible and cost effective cement bonded asbestos removal and disposal. This pioneering service provides the builder with safety equipment, instructions and disposal sacks available through many of the regions leading independent builder’s merchants along with national household names. The corresponding collection service allows for the prompt and cost effective disposal of the resulting asbestos cement waste. This has generated additional sales for many of the professional builders in the region whilst saving money for a whole host of small businesses and householders.

With the changes to the Hazardous Waste Regulations last year, WEEEclear™ a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) recovery unit was launched in June 2006. This is part of a larger project for the AWM Group, waste management contractors, which involves the establishment of a major electrical equipment recycling facility which will ensure the recycling of 95% of television and computer monitors, the second of its kind in the UK and supporting the entirety of the group’s business plan as centred on resource reuse.

A further project following the company’s resource reuse concept and contributing to their success is the significant investment into a Wolverhampton based materials recycling facility. The facility will aid in segregating and recycling of up to 75,000 tonnes of non hazardous waste, helping to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill for disposal.

“We were ecstatic to have nominated for these awards, the fact that our achievements have been recognised so far and to leave with the best business award is remarkable,” said Paul Woodhead, Managing Director “We are honoured to receive this award and will continue to strive for excellence!”

Paul continues:

“The key to our continued success is our investment and recruitment of the best personnel to ensure that every person who enquires of us receives the highest degree of service, value and result. As a team we use our collective knowledge and experiences to join up thoughts and plans to produce innovative and original solutions to ongoing problems.”

The Chamber of Commerce awards celebrated the achievements of individuals and companies that make a real difference to the Black Country area. The winners of each category were revealed at the Chamber’s black-tie Annual Banquet at Dunstall Park, Wolverhampton, Friday July 14.
