Nicola Frayne, Chief People Officer at Bill’s Restaurants and Stephen Hodges, Director at Haggai Project Services Ltd, both join as non-executive board directors, effective immediately.

Nicola brings with her a wealth of human resources experience and strong leadership skills.

New appointee, Nicola Frayne has spent the last nine years in senior human resources roles focusing onrecruitment, employee engagement, organisational development and corporate social responsibility. An inspiring motivator, Nicola has a diverse leadership background spanning sales, operations, and human resources. Nicola comments, “I joined the board because of the people I met. When I met CEO Adrian Griffiths and visited Recycling Technologies’ pilot plant and met other members of the team, I knew I wanted to do more to help stop waste entering the world’s oceans. At Bill’s Restaurants, we have cut plastic straws from our restaurants but not all plastic is avoidable such as the plastic that protects our food and makes our cars lighter. For this, we need great developments such as the chemical recycling of plastic to enable us all to recycle our plastic waste with confidence at home.”

He is currently a director at Haggai Project Services which provides client side support with capital project and contract management.

I believe my experience within waste management, recycling and renewable energy will add value to an incredibly experienced leadership team. Recycling Technologies has an unrivalled opportunity to resolve problems of retaining difficult to recycle plastic in the chain of utility. Recycling Technologies addresses the issues facing the waste plastics sector with an innovative and commercially attractive solution to recycle more plastic waste and which can scale rapidly.”
