Leading European waste and recycling solutions business IEG EMEA, a division of the global Impact Environmental Group with operations situated strategically across the US and the UK, is celebrating the success of its first US / UK training symposium, designed to share best practice and key insights amongst the rapidly growing firm.

The three-day event held at the head office of one of IEG’s trading brands, Capital Compactors and Balers in Barnsley, brought together senior personnel from across the group, including Joe Stodola, IEG’s Chief Operating Officer and Liz Roth Group Marketing Director who travelled across from Illinois, United States to attend the landmark occasion.  

Across the three days, participants engaged in interactive workshops and seminar sessions. David Williams, Managing Director of IEG EMEA, who was also in attendance, comments: “The event afforded us an invaluable opportunity to not only share key learning, but also to agree and formulate a strategy for the integration of our sales and commercial functions, which will allow the group to further bolster its position as an international leader in the in the provision of waste and recycling products and service solutions.”
