Our client CSG is a leading waste management and resource recovery business, delivering innovative and sustainable solutions across the UK. With a strong reputation for operational excellence, compliance, and customer service, CSG works with organisations across multiple sectors to provide safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible waste collection and recycling services.
