Thetford, Norfolk, the company was established in 1945 as a waste paper merchant. The company remains 100% owned by the Pearson family, with Jo Pearson as Managing Director and his father Pat Pearson as Chairman. As a family firm, the Pearsons take a long-term view and continued investment and innovation has enabled the business to grow. Current turnover exceeds £12m pa.

PERFORMANCE

Very few recycling businesses can consistently recover 85% of raw waste for reuse. This dramatically reduces the environmental burden of landfill. When Pearsons collect waste and process it through the MRF, you can be confident that more than 85% will be recycled. A £5m investment in their new plant has made this possible.

PROFESSIONAL

There is much more to environmental protection than collecting, separating and reprocessing waste. Pearsons offer independent expert advice and a range of services to businesses, local authorities and government departments. By providing site audits, advising on waste minimisation and offering guidance on environmental legislation compliance, Pearsons can deal with every aspect of your waste management policy and practice.
