At CWR our people are at the heart of everything we do. Since our inception up until the present date, our focus was to establish CWR as a safe, trusted, innovative and responsible provider of waste collection services. Our priority in the early stages was to implement service changes that would benefit our shareholder and residents of the borough whilst working through the challenges presented by Covid 19 and its aftermath.
Throughout this time, our workforce remained committed and dedicated – and as such, our performance went from strength to strength.
In October 2024, we received an extension to our existing Recycling and Waste Collection Contract for an additional 8 years until at least 2034. From April 2026 (also for at least 8 years) we’ll also manage the HWRCs on behalf of Cheshire West and Chester Council.
With the company now heading into the future from a position of strength – and given that our workforce will increase in size with the addition of the HWRC contract award – now is the time to fortify and develop our people who make our work, service and operations possible.
We seek to shape our culture and to enable our staff to be – and feel – valued. We hope to shape an environment that our staff want to be part of; where they can continually develop and thrive and where they feel ‘heard’.
In its People and Wellbeing Strategy (2025-2030), CWR has set out the approach the organisation will take over the next 5 years to enable us to become an Employer of Choice for both our existing workforce and those considering a career with us.
