A 35-year-old, family-owned waste and recycling operator in Sussex has been sold to EverGrowth, a founder-led total facilities management platform.

Hailsham-based Haulaway joins EverGrowth’s environmental services division in a deal that provides it with additional support and resources while retaining the experience, relationships and knowledge that led to its success.

Founded by the Holloway family in 1991, Haulaway began operating with just two skip lorries and has grown steadily into a waste and recycling business serving customers throughout East Sussex and the wider South East.

It holds a licence authorising 29 HGVs running out of three operating centres and provides skip hire, roll-on roll-off containers, tipper and grab hire, plant hire, bulk haulage and trade waste collections.

Colin Holloway, MD at Haulaway, said: “Haulaway has been a family business since 1991, and over that time we have built strong and lasting relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees.

“EverGrowth took the time to understand our business, how we operate and what has made Haulaway successful.

“Julie and I are pleased to be joining the group and believe this provides a strong platform for the business to continue developing while maintaining the service and relationships our customers have come to expect.”

Chris West, co-founder and chief executive at EverGrowth, said: “I grew up around my family’s waste business, so I know how much graft goes into running a yard like this.

“Colin and Julie run a tight, proper business that Hailsham relies on. That kind of discipline is what we want to build on across the group.”
