Our team has supported local authorities in a range of service reviews, particularly in response to statutory changes, austerity measures and budget cuts. We can address the whole range of services to identify savings, deliver efficiencies and innovation.
FRM cover collection, recycling, reuse, haulage, treatment, disposal, street cleansing, service packaging, governance arrangements and joint working.
We can model cost, carbon and operational / performance aspects of services and have modelled collection services from over 120 Councils in the UK. We support findings with benchmarking, modelling, operational observations and options appraisals, as required. We can develop business cases and report findings to officers / members.

| Consultancy Services for Collection Service Review |
| Project Summary: |
|
In 2024 we undertook a detailed review of current collection services across the three legacy areas of the newly formed Unitary Authority Westmorland and Furness for harmonisation. This project included site visits, operation review, desk-based carbon emission and cost modelling, commentary on other service areas (litter bins, bulky waste), contracts and infrastructure. The report included good practice recommendations and a timeline for implementation. |

Paul was knowledgeable and eloquent and provided the right level of interpretation for the complexities of waste collection modelling.
Friendly and approachable, doesn’t have the corporate style of a larger consultancy which is a good thing.
