Reconomy establishes new Change and Transformation function to deliver future growth

Reconomy, the leading international circular economy specialist, today announces the launch of a new Change and Transformation function, to help deliver future growth and drive additional value.

This new function will be focused on three specific areas:

• Overseeing the delivery of transformation projects across the organisation
• Development of an enhanced framework for integrating acquisitions
• Delivering an operating structure to standardise technologies, platforms and processes across support functions such as finance, technology and HR

This new Change and Transformation function will act as a central operating model to amalgamate the expertise and capabilities across Reconomy’s brands, enhance collaboration and improve interconnectedness to support the delivery of key growth strategies. It will create more consistency in change management programmes and help build internal intellectual capital to drive the future direction of the business. It will also help maximise the value of the brands by enabling them to combine their deep local knowledge with the resources of the international group.

The new function will be led by James Skeet, Director of Group Change and Transformation, who  previously established a high-performing Project Management Office within Reconomy’s Technology function.

The creation of this comes as Reconomy has grown rapidly over the past few years, building out a world-class, tech-enabled, people-powered platform. This growth has been achieved organically and through multiple acquisitions of various brands as it adds complementary capabilities and entrenches its market-leading positions. Reconomy has already made four acquisitions this year following five highly complementary acquisitions in 2023. It now operates in more than 80 countries, with more than 4,000 colleagues servicing over 10,000 diverse international customers.
