For 10 years we’ve supported the independent construction firm, Deeley Group, to ensure they achieved their sustainability goals. Deeley Group needed a supplier and waste management operator that was sustainably motivated, reliable and consistent – which is why they chose Tom White. Join us as we discuss our powerful partnership with the construction firm. 

Who are Deeley Group?

Deeley Group is a family-owned construction and development firm based in the Midlands. Having grown from strength to strength over 85 years, the independent company has always prioritised sustainability, providing eco-friendly building solutions for their customers such as; EV charging points, solar panels, rainwater harvesting measures and PIR lighting.

Deeley Group priorities

Ahead of the 10 year long partnership, Deeley Group made it clear that they had 3 main priorities that needed to be addressed and achieved, by us, as their suppliers. These priorities included: 

1. Sustainable practices – ensure that sustainable practices are being followed on site and contributing to the customer’s target of being net-zero carbon. 
2. Zero to landfill – Achieve 100% landfill diversion for all waste materials produced on-site and processed within the UK. 
3. Reliable service – Provide reliable and consistent service to all the customer’s construction sites within Coventry. 

Helping communities grow

The Deeley Group are at the heart of Coventry’s growth, having expanded local communities through the means of construction over the years. To further contribute to the community and the planet their main goal is to “ensure sustainable practice is being followed at all of our developments and contributing to our ultimate target of being net-zero carbon by the time the company celebrates its 100th year.”

We created a sustainably motivated plan that helped them put this goal into action. Over the last year, we’ve assisted in the development of their extension project at Ernesford Grange & Riverbank Academy. Providing Deeley Construction with 43 skips, a mixture of 7.3 yard, 10 yard, and 14 yard skips to remove 41 tonnes of materials from the site. This project has seen the creation of new teaching spaces and classrooms, resulting in around 180 new places for potential students – giving locals more opportunities. 

How we lowered Deeley Construction’s carbon footprint and recycled all materials

During the ongoing project, a mix of construction waste, wood, scrap metal, and non-hazardous waste was generated on the site from packaging, demolition, and surplus materials—these materials needed to be processed quickly, safely and with the least amount of carbon impact. 

By choosing our local waste management operator, Deeley Construction reduced its carbon impact by limiting how far its waste travels for processing. During the process, loaded skips were collected or exchanged, and the materials were taken to our on-site material recycling facility (MRF), where we segregated materials by type. Once separated, the materials were baled and sent to other material processors within the UK to be made into products that then go back into the supply chain as new products.

Continuing towards a bright and net-zero future

With the support of Tom White, the waste materials from Ernesford Grange Community Academy have been collected, separated and recycled, resulting in 100% landfill diversion, helping to reduce Deeley Group’s carbon footprint. As Deeley Construction’s preferred waste operator in Coventry, we will continue to work with the group on future projects and ways to lower their waste output, which is a high priority for Deeley Group, through our advancing waste-to-product processes supporting their net-zero targets.

The result

“We have worked in partnership with Tom White for over a decade and have always been impressed by their service and level of legal documentation and reports. They have always been a step ahead in how they manage their waste and ensuring that waste is recycled or reused and diverted from landfill.”
