Care home waste management specialist appoints new Business Development Manager for the care home sector
Anenta, the leading independent healthcare waste management specialist for the care home sector, has appointed former Business Development Manager at Future Street Smart Waste, Paul Barker, as its new Business Development Manager for the business.
Brought on board to boost Anenta’s growing care home client base, Paul will be responsible for delivering bespoke, affordable and professional end-to-end waste management solutions to the sector.
As part of his new role, Paul will oversee the management of Anenta’s existing waste contracts, ensuring that care home waste logistics, service delivery, and waste disposal performance levels are industry leading.
Paul has worked within the waste sector for more than 10 years and has over 25 years of client relationship management experience.
Part of the management team that brought the US waste technology “BigBelly” to the U.K, Paul has an extensive background in introducing disruptive waste technology to the UK’s healthcare sector including many Local Authorities and the NHS.
Paul played a key part in introducing the ground-breaking Sterilwave clinical waste processing solution, enabling Alternative Treatment and Offensive Waste streams to be treated on site at hospitals, saving the NHS money and helping it reduce its environmental impact.
Commenting on his new care home focus, Paul Barker said: “Our research shows that care homes are typically wasting £8,000 every year through poor waste management process and procurement. My role is to help put a stop to that by working with care home clients to change waste disposal habits and practices, and to deliver a better service that saves clients time and money.
“This is made possible through Anenta’s cutting-edge, real-time smart technology, which identifies and creates opportunities to streamline waste services, reducing unnecessary costs through enhanced efficiencies.
“From identifying and preventing waste overbilling through to aiding clients with staff training, and complex waste and pre-acceptance audits, our role is to take the pain away from managing care home waste, so that clients can focus on delivering their services.”
Paul added: “Personally, I’m looking forward to providing care homes with a simple solution that brings them, their waste collection providers and other stakeholders to a single point of unified management. This means complete transparency and allows us to deliver an improved service, removing hassle and generating significant savings for our care home clients, all backed by the highest levels of customer service.”
Commenting on Paul’s appointment, Graham Flynn, Managing Director of Anenta, said: “Paul is incredibly well-versed in building successful, long lasting client relationships. We see this as key to working with clients in the care home sector, and to delivering added value.
“Combined with his depth of understanding in dealing with waste and identifying ways to improve waste management efficiency, Paul is perfectly placed to help care homes streamline their processes, enabling the delivery of consistently high levels of service and customer satisfaction.”
Working for customers in over 20,000 locations, including individual care homes and care home groups, Anenta simplifies the process of healthcare and care home waste management, collectively saving clients millions of pounds each year. Over the past five years, Anenta has saved its clients over £13 million.
