Stuart Stockley joins Veka Recycling
Stuart Stockley has been appointed as the managing director of Veka Recycling.
Stuart has previously headed up manufacturing and merchanting operations for sector-leading brands, including wall and roofing components manufacturer Klöber Group, insulation distributors CCF and notably, as the head of sustainable products for the UK’s largest builders’ merchant, Travis Perkins.
He is said to have particular skills in manufacturing and distribution, business and brand development, and a personal and business commitment to the broader issues of sustainability and how these may be applied commercially.
Stuart commented: “Veka Recycling is the leading UK-based specialist PVC-U recycler and I was particularly attracted to the proposition of the commercial and social potential of collecting and returning this material for re-use over many cycles.
“We have an impressive facility here in Wellingborough and I am really looking forward to collaborating with our customers, colleagues and supply partners to help drive the business forward.”
Veka Recycling’s Wellingborough plant is reported to be the most advanced of its kind in Europe. It was completed at the end of 2020 and can process PVC-U into high-quality recycled PVC-U pellet.
This material is now used in the production of new window and door profiles, in addition to established high volume users including products for the electrical and HVAC industries.
The site is the third to be built by Veka Group, the others being located in France and Germany.
