GAP Group North East expands with new Yorkshire facility to boost electrical recycling services across the UK

GAP Group North East is expanding its nationwide electrical recycling and resource recovery network with the opening of a new operational facility in Yorkshire, strengthening its ability to deliver faster, more efficient services to businesses, local authorities and compliance partners across much of the UK.

The fully accredited electrical recycling specialist already operates established processing centres in Gateshead and Perthshire, providing extensive coverage across North East England and Scotland. The addition of a Yorkshire hub represents the next stage of the company's growth strategy, creating a central location that will significantly improve services for customers throughout Yorkshire, the Midlands and the South of England and Wales.

By reducing collection distances and improving logistics, the new facility is expected to deliver quicker response times, greater operational flexibility and enhanced processing capacity for organisations handling Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

Nigel Tomlinson, Commercial Director at GAP Group North East, said the expansion reflects the company's commitment to supporting customers wherever they are based.

He told That's Business: "As demand grows, our mission is to make sure every customer, wherever they are in the UK, receives the same level of service, speed and compliance support. The Yorkshire site is about us providing what our customers need."

The new facility is set to offer a number of practical advantages for customers, including more efficient transport routes that reduce travel mileage and improve collection turnaround times. Shorter lead times from collection requests to processing will also help businesses meet tighter project deadlines, while increased capacity will enable GAP Group to respond more effectively to urgent, high-volume or complex recycling requirements.

The expansion comes at a time when regulatory expectations surrounding WEEE compliance continue to increase. Businesses, public sector organisations and compliance schemes are under growing pressure to ensure electrical waste is managed responsibly, creating greater demand for accredited recycling partners with the capacity to handle larger volumes across multiple waste streams.

GAP Group says the Yorkshire site will allow it to maintain the high standards of reliability and responsiveness that customers have come to expect while supporting continued growth in demand.

The enhanced network is expected to benefit a wide range of organisations, from facilities management companies coordinating nationwide collections and retailers undertaking store refurbishments, to construction firms clearing project sites, education trusts replacing IT equipment and brokers managing compliance obligations on behalf of clients.

With three strategically located processing facilities, GAP Group North East is positioning itself to provide faster, more accessible and more resilient electrical recycling services to organisations across the UK.
