Sortera is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark McCleery as its UK Managing Director.  A leader in waste management and the sale of residual products from the building and construction sector in Northern Europe, the Swedish company entered the UK sector in June 2022 with the acquisition of O’Donovan Waste Disposal, followed by the acquisition of GBN Services in June 2023. 

These acquisitions are important steps in establishing Sortera as one of the leading companies in the collection and recycling of construction waste in the UK.  Globally, GBN Services is the 19 acquisition by Sortera since it was established in 2006.

Mark McCleery will focus on shaping and driving the strategic agenda for Sortera across the UK market, supported by the executive teams in O’Donovan Waste and GBN Services.  He will work closely with Garry Hobson (MD of GBN Services) and Jacqueline O’Donovan (MD of O’Donovan Waste Disposal) to integrate the businesses, whilst maintaining the exacting standards in safety, innovation, sustainability and service excellence that customers of both organisations have come to expect.

“We are pleased to announce the arrival of Mark McCleery,” said Sebastian Wessman, CEO of Sortera AB.  “This represents the next stage of our growth plans for the UK, as we seek to become one of the leading construction waste management companies in London and the South-East, focused on delivering exceptional service to our customers.”

"As O'Donovan move to the next stage of our partnership with Sortera, we are delighted to welcome Mark McCleery,” said Jacqueline O'Donovan.  "Mark's experience will help guide Sortera to achieve their UK success.  Our clients remain at the forefront of our priorities and they can expect the same level of commitment and service excellence that we have always provided."
