Stephen Hemsley, Franchise Brand’s executive chairman, tells Proactive he is delighted with how new acquisition Filta is performing.
The group is to integrate Filta’s direct labour force with those working for another operation, Willow Pumps, but the synergy between the businesses is one of the reasons Franchise Brands bought it, says Hemsley.
Filta is also getting a benefit from the rise in oil price as its filtration system doubles the life of cooking oil, so it is very attractive with prices so high while it is also getting more for the waste it recycles.
