Reconomy appoints new CEO

Reconomy Group has appointed Guy Wakeley as its new chief executive officer (CEO).

Wakeley succeeds Paul Cox, who has transitioned to the role of founder director on the group’s board.

He was recently chief executive of services at IWG plc in Switzerland, where he was responsible for business strategy, environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy and financial planning.

Wakeley will continue to build Reconomy Group’s market positions globally in the recycle, comply and reuse segments of the sustainability sector.

He said: “Reconomy Group’s sustainability solutions play a crucial role in addressing some of the biggest challenges facing our world. The group’s strong relationships with blue-chip brands mean it is well-positioned to support businesses which are increasingly focused on their environmental impact and ESG objectives.”
