In 2024/25, we delivered strong operational performance while supporting Cheshire West and Chester Council’s objectives. Now as we look ahead, our focus remains on delivering exceptional value to our Shareholder and the community we serve. Our ambition is not only to sustain our role as a leading service provider but to set a benchmark for excellence in performance, sustainability and social impact within the sector.

With a foundation of long-term planning, financial stability and strategic investment, CWR is well-positioned to grow sustainably, drive innovation, improve service delivery and create lasting environmental and social benefits for Cheshire West and Chester and beyond.

Business Plan ThumbnailFrank Rogers, Independent Non-Executive Chair of CWR has said: "I am delighted to introduce CWR’s 2024-25 Annual Report and 2025-26 Business Plan, which sets out our continued commitment to delivering outstanding waste and recycling services for the residents of Cheshire West and Chester.

"This year marks a significant milestone for CWR as we secure long-term contracts for kerbside collections and HWRC management, providing stability for strategic growth, service innovation and financial resilience. These achievements reflect the confidence of our Shareholder and the dedication of our workforce. Looking ahead, we are committed to advancing sustainability, expanding commercial operations and driving efficiency through technology. Our investment in electric fleet capabilities and expanded food waste collections demonstrates our commitment to environmental leadership and the borough’s climate action plan.

At the heart of our success is our people. By fostering a culture of inclusivity, innovation and development, we ensure CWR remains a great place to work and grow. As we embark on this next chapter, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to our teams, partners and stakeholders for their continued support.
