Company mission
To revolutionise business sustainability, starting with waste and recycling.
Our take
First Mile is an environmental and waste management business based in London. It works with over 30,000 London-based businesses to reduce their carbon impact through services regarding waste, recycling, and renewable energy.
The company has a differentiated approach to waste and recycling, with a focus on supporting businesses through high levels of customer service and the use of technology to efficiently and cost-effectively collect waste across the city. It allows companies to avoid sending any waste to landfill, an attractive proposition for the sustainability-conscious business.
With a track record of excellent growth, First Mile is in a strong position in the London waste market and has recently expanded its business operations to Birmingham. Through investments from Growth Capital Partners, the company has been able to develop its services further and become a leading player in the sustainable market.
