Giles is chief executive of SWR, a waste management company that specialises in working with specific sectors (one of these being the hospitality sector) to maximise sustainable disposal and reduce costs. He joined SWR in 2007 having worked in the telecoms industry for 10 years and prior to that was a business consultant to manufacturing companies. Giles joined SWR seeing a huge opportunity for the company to do things fundamentally differently to the competition. "The way businesses want to manage waste is changing at a pace that waste companies are often not keeping up with. SWR works in a way that enables our customers to meet their goals and consistently improve environmental performance," he says.
