Anglian Waste Recycling Group is pleased to announce the promotions of Ryan Marshall to Director of Waste & Recycling and Karl Endersby to Demolition Contracts Manager.
After joining Anglian in October 2022, Ryan has become a key player in the company’s sustainability efforts. Following on from studying waste management at the University of Northampton and gaining the NEBOSH National General Certificate, Ryan has had a busy career within the waste industry working for Intu, Don’t Waste and as a self-employed consultant advising companies on changes and improvements and ensuring their companies are compliant with all regulations. Ryan is extremely passionate about everything recycling and continues to impart his wealth of knowledge to our clients and the teams he leads across waste, transport, scrap metal and our facility in Attleborough.
Karl Endersby is a familiar face at Anglian Demolition & Asbestos Ltd after joining the company in January 2015 as contracts assistant and then later being promoted to estimator and senior estimator. Karl’s latest promotion sees him continuing to work closely with Operations Director Rob Eastaff and Senior Contracts Manager Andy Elvin to provide fully packaged solutions for our customers.
Lee Storer, Managing Director at Anglian Waste Recycling Group said:
“Ryans promotion is testimony to the impact he has had on the growth of our waste division. His knowledge, experience and professional approach has propelled Anglian to being one of the most respected waste recycling companies in the Region. His promotion also gives the Anglian management structure balance, and his leadership qualities will no doubt benefit the whole company.”
“Karl has been fundamental in the growth of Anglian Demolition, with a commitment and dedication that has been unwavering. As his career has developed so has his reputation amongst his peers and clients alike, with many looking to him for his experience and guidance on some of the most complex projects. We are confident that Karl will continue to surpass our expectations in his new role and be central to Anglian’s success in 2024.”

People living in Swanton Morley and Dereham are the latest to benefit from enhanced bus services thanks to money received from the Department for Transport (DfT) to improve bus services across the County.
The Fab 4 service operated by Konectbus will begin a brand-new Sunday service on Sunday 19 February with the first bus leaving Swanton Morley at 7:40am. The service runs every two hours until 15:40 and stops at Dereham, East Tuddenham, Longwater, Cringleford and Norwich. The last bus back from Norwich is at 16:14 to Swanton Morley and at 17:25 to Dereham.
There are also two extra journeys which operate from Swanton Morley to Dereham at 8:40am and 17:35pm.
For the rest of the week (Monday to Saturday) the Fab 4 service will benefit from the following extra evening journeys:
19:30 & 21:10 Norwich to Swanton Morley (last bus was previously at 18:25)
This provides a 19:45 and 21:25 pick up at the NNUH useful for those working later shifts.
18:25 & 20:00 – Dereham to Norwich (last bus was previously 17:10)
18:10 & 19:45 – Swanton Morley to Norwich (last bus was previously 16:55)
20:45 & 22:25 – Swanton Morley to Dereham (last bus was previously 16:55)
Cllr Graham Plant, Cabinet Member for Highways, Infrastructure and Transport, said: “Providing later services is something many residents asked for when we developed our bus service improvement plan – so being able to deliver these services to those who wanted them is exactly what the money secured from the DfT is for. Having buses run into the evenings and on a Sunday means more people can make the choice to leave the car at home and use their local bus service – which is key to us achieving our net-zero ambitions.”
A single trip on the services will cost just £2 between January and March as Konectbus are one of the local operators taking part in the fare cap promotion funded by HM Government as part of their Help for Households campaign .
Gavin Smith, Managing Director of Go East Anglia/Konectbus said; “ Konectbus are delighted to have been involved with the BSIP funding project, from initial public consultation to drawing up proposals for bus service enhancements, new services, and improved connections with other transport services across our region. This enhancement is great for people living in Dereham and Swanton Morley and with stops at many key areas of employment such as Longwater retail park and the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital it means more people can choose the bus to get to work.”
This is just one of a number of service enhancements which are being funded by the £49.55 million funding which Norfolk County Council was successful in securing from the Department for Transport (DfT) to use on improving bus services across the County over the next three years.
Approximately £12 million of the funding has been allocated to provide new or expanded bus routes and increase service frequencies on key routes, including more evening and weekend services.
Roads Minister Richard Holden said; “People up and down the country deserve a clean, reliable, and affordable public transport system. That is why we have provided Norfolk County Council with almost £50 million to boost its bus services.
“Supporting Konectbus with providing more frequent services is great for local residents, who will now benefit and be able to make the most of the fantastic work, business and leisure opportunities Norfolk has to offer.”
On Friday 30 September over 50 Norfolk Chamber Members from across the region joined us at BEST WESTERN PLUS: Knights Hill Hotel for an informative morning with Listers BMW King’s Lynn.
Delegates arrived early to get started on making new connections. Host Heather Garrod, President of West Norfolk Chamber Council introduced our featured charity RSPB Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve and our first networking ice breaker of the morning. Delegates grouped together on their tables to name famous cars from cropped images, some even got full marks!
Following on from this delegates tucked into a delicious breakfast provided by Knights Hill Hotel, continuing to network on their tables. Once finished we proceeded to mix our delegates up with our Safari Move, changing their tables around to enable them to make even more contacts in the room.
James Martin, new Corporate Sales Manager for Listers King’s Lynn took the stage next, ready to give delegates an in-depth overview of their plans for the next 100 years of BMW. He highlighted how far BMW have come in the last 100 years and showed delegates the plans for the BMW, Mini and Rolls Royce, as well as the advanced technology behind them.
The event drew to a close with all delegates amazed by the prospects of the future of automotive technology, from the self-driving to the contact recognition all from a vehicle. Many stayed at the venue to visit our exhibition stands from RSPB Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve, WLP and DD Health & Safety Supplies, as well as continuing to network with even more delegates, and have a play in the cars brought along by Listers King’s Lynn.
Norfolk is full of talented business men and women and we’re delighted to have some of them giving up their time to provide free mentoring sessions for young professionals (under 35s) across Norfolk.

The EU is proposing stronger controls on exports of certain goods and technologies that – in addition to legitimate civilian applications – may also be misused for human rights violations, terrorist acts or the development of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström explained: “We are living in turbulent times. Preserving peace and protecting human rights are core objectives of the EU and our trade policy is essential to that aim. That’s why we are proposing a set of modern rules to make sure that exports are not misused to threaten international security or undermine human rights.”
A main element of the Commission’s proposal is a new “human security” dimension in export controls, to prevent human rights violations associated with certain cyber-surveillance technologies.
With the emergence of, for example, specifically designed surveillance technology such as monitoring centres and data retention systems, it is considered essential to ensure that regulations allow EU authorities to stop exports in cases where they could be misused for human rights violations, for repression or in armed conflict.
The proposal also aims to simplify and harmonise the existing export control rules in order to save time and money for EU exporters and national authorities.
As well as being a significant actor in the fight against proliferation of WMD, the EU is a major producer and exporter of dual-use items with a control regime in place since the late 1990s.
A common EU list of controlled dual-use items is included in the annex to EC Regulation 428/2009. The new proposal can be foundhere.
