Darlow Lloyd & Sons Ltd (DLS),
which celebrates 50 years in business in 2015, has enjoyed significant
growth in the last decade. The
workforce has tripled, turnover has
increased from £4m to £12m, and the business has witnessed expansion into new markets and territories across the UK. It has also
established an international presence.
Founded in 1965 by Darlow and Janice
Lloyd, the business has remained true to its
core values. An emphasis on putting the client
first, building long-term relationships and
maintaining a strong, passionate and highly
skilled workforce has proven to be the cornerstone to the business’s enduring success.
Certainly, the company’s family values are still
prevalent and continue to govern its proactive
strategy towards the services it provides.
“We work with our customers to identify
their needs and to develop specific solutions to
fit within our customers’ operational requirements. The solutions are often a combination

of our proven capabilities and innovative services,” explains Commercial Director Paul Knott.
For the waste management, asset recycling
and environmental sectors, DLS provides a
wide range of innovative services and plant. Its
specialist capabilities have allowed it to create
bespoke, tailored solutions for clients.
“Our customers are able to generate
greater business value by outsourcing to our
reliable and diverse capabilities. This allows
them to focus on daily extraction, downstream
processing and other core business activities.”
DLS holds a leading market position in
terms of its ability to service unique customer needs, and to adapt in line with changing industry and customer requirements. This
is complemented by a focus on creating value
for DLS clients. Over the term of a contract
the business will constantly seek ways to add
value to the customer’s operations while
investigating ways it can exceed expectation
within the contract or look for opportunities
to do more with lower costs.
