High Wycombe waste management giant Biffa has bought a Flackwell Heath company for £35 million.

Biffa, based out of the Cressex Business Park in Coronation Road, has taken over Simply Waste Solutions, which has its headquarters in Aries House in Straight Bit.

Simply Waste provides rubbish collection services for businesses across the county and made £32 million in the last financial year.

Michael Topham, Chief Executive of Biffa, said the company wants to expand its industrial and commercial side of the business, adding: "We are delighted to welcome the Simply Waste team and their customers to Biffa.

"Simply Waste has an excellent reputation, complementing Biffa’s existing footprint in the south of England, and I am confident that this acquisition will enhance the strength of our service offering in the region for our combined customers.”
