I have spent much of my career leading complex metal recycling and non-ferrous processing operations across production, engineering and site management roles.

My experience ranges from running a 12-acre, vertically integrated recycling site processing more than 100,000 tonnes of ASR and SDA residue each year into twitch and heavies, through to leading the UK operation of a specialist non-ferrous recycling business during a period of significant investment, growth and operational change.

I have managed the process engineering and technical performance of complex mechanical separation and intelligent sorting lines, including equipment selection, plant design, installation, commissioning and ongoing optimisation. My experience also includes environmental permit applications and variations, helping ensure that new equipment, process changes and increased capacity remain within the site’s permitted activities.

This means I understand both sides of the industry: large processing operations with complex plant, teams and reporting structures, and smaller owner-led businesses where the same people are often balancing production problems with the commercial demands of running and growing the company.

That practical experience is what sits behind MH Processing. I understand the pressures involved in keeping a recycling operation moving, and I focus on finding realistic improvements that can be implemented on site and deliver a measurable commercial return.
