History
The Company was founded by Guy Shanks and Andrew McEwan in 1880 as a construction company operating primarily in the West of Scotland under the name of Shanks & McEwan.[1] In 1988 the Company acquired The London Brick Company[2] and with it an enormous landfill capacity north of London. The Company was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1988.[1]
In the mid 1990's the Company sold its remaining construction interests to concentrate solely on waste management.[1] In 1998 the Company went on to buy four waste management companies in Belgium.[3]
In March 2000 the Company bought Waste Management Nederland B.V. in the Netherlands.[4]
In July 2004 the Company sold its UK landfill and landfill gas power assets to Terra Firma.[5]
In 2006 the Company went on to buy Smink Beheer B.V. in the Netherlands for €62m.[6]
