In a strategic move, Anglian Demolition & Asbestos, a Norfolk-based contracting and waste management company, has appointed Ryan Marshall as the joint managing director. This decision is part of a broader succession planning strategy aimed at ensuring stable leadership as the company moves into its next growth phase.
Ryan Marshall, who initially joined Anglian in September 2022 as a senior environment and waste manager, was promoted to the director of waste and recycling in December 2023. His promotion to joint managing director positions him alongside the company’s founder, Lee Storer. This collaborative leadership structure is designed to manage the company’s transition period effectively, with Marshall expected to assume sole directorship by 2025 when Storer becomes the executive chairman.
The emphasis of Marshall’s new role will be on expanding the waste division and enhancing the operational systems across all business areas. Lee Storer, reflecting on this leadership shift, remarked, “This is an exciting step forward and reflects the board’s ambition for growth and our desire to build an outstanding business.” His statement underscores the company’s commitment to providing growth opportunities for its staff, making Anglian a company that its employees can be proud of.
Marshall himself expressed enthusiasm for the new role, saying, “Anglian is a fantastic business which has been trading successfully for 17 years and has exceptional potential for future growth.” This outlook demonstrates the leadership’s confidence in Anglian’s position as a leading contractor and waste management partner across East Anglia.
The company, which reported a turnover of £13 million in the past year, operates under a larger group that includes Anglian Scaffolding, Anglian Earthworks & Remediation, and other subsidiaries. As Anglian moves forward, its leadership is keen on leveraging the synergy within its different business units to maintain its competitive edge.
The leadership transition at Anglian Demolition & Asbestos underscores a strategic move towards sustained growth and operational excellence.
