Tim Tofte has joined VEKA Recycling as Transport Manager, the latest in a series of new appointme

In his new role at VEKA Recycling Tim is looking forward to building on existing and new business, strengthening both his team and the wider VEKA Recycling operations.
“My immediate role includes the management of yard staff, weighbridge staff, drivers and the transport office, all of which involves effective planning of both time and resources,” said Tim. “In the medium to long term, I’m hoping to grow customer relationships, help set up new customers and manage their expectations within the business.
“I am looking forward to helping identify any areas within transport that may need refining and implementing any changes needed. I’ll also be encouraging the team to take on new challenges and further all of our knowledge and skills, helping improve the processes of both my team and the wider VEKA Recycling operations in the process.”
