Kent’s largest vehicle recycling business RECLAMET has won the coveted national ‘Vehicle Recycling (Medium-size) Company of the Year Award 2024′. The Award was announced at a National Awards ceremony held at the RAF Museum, Cosford and organised by ATF Professional Magazine.

RECLAMET is delighted to announce that it won the hotly contested ‘Vehicle Recycling (Medium size) Company of the Year Award 2024. The Award was presented to RECLAMET Owner and Managing Director Stuart Mann and several of his team including Sian Crow, Sadie Marks and Nick Maxfield who joined him on stage at an exclusive Award ceremony at RAF Museum Cosford in the West Midlands on 28th November 2024.

RECLAMET won the award for its professional and modern approach to salvaging and recycling vehicles, and importantly how the business has implemented brand new practices to reduce waste and emissions. RECLAMET was also praised for its contribution to its local community in Kent where it has helped several charities and large events through regular donations as well as supporting a brand-new boxing club in Ramsgate earlier this year.

Stuart Mann, Owner and Managing Director at RECLAMET said: “This is an incredibly proud moment for RECLAMET to win this competitive category. A huge and heartfelt thank you to all our customers, partners and suppliers throughout the UK who have played a massive part in making this award possible.

And, of course to all of my team for your hard work and dedication to making RECLAMET succeed in such a short space of time. In 4 years the we have built a great team which has gone from no raking to becoming the 9th largest vehicle recycler in the UK.

RECLAMET’s Award has strengthened my resolve to keep investing in the business, its people and to help make our local community thrive.”

The National Vehicle Recycling Awards was established by ATF Professional Magazine to celebrate the industry’s achievements and especially its dynamic contribution to the UK’s national sustainability targets set by the British Government in response to the UN Paris Agreement on Climate Change 2015.

The vehicle recycling sector plays a crucial role in helping to reduce waste and minimise the carbon footprint  of vehicle production and disposal. In the UK alone the vehicle recycling sector contributes 3 billion kilograms of carbon emission savings per year which is equivalent to the emissions saved from the manufacture of 240,000 brand new cars annually.

The National Award comes soon after RECLAMET achieved a place on the podium as a finalist in the Kent Business Awards for its ‘Sustainability and Decarbonisation’ as part of Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce annual Awards 2024. The Sustainability Awards was won by Walker Construction UK Ltd.
