Euro-Parliament members.
Mike Snell, Managing Director of the Recy-
cling Group’s External Affairs department
said: “IPT is doing a great job by building
awareness on the importance of the busi-
ness and industrial sector in the British eco-
nomy among policy-makers who draft laws
governing the business world.
We enjoyed very much working with Dan,
helping him to understand some of the fun-
damental aspects affecting all businesses,
either waste and resource management as
is our case, or the chocolate manufacturing
activity. We also improved our understan-
ding of the pressures faced by Parliament
members and what they must know in or-
der to make good policies and make the
right legislative decisions”.
IPT is a non-lobbying independent organi-
zation which enjoys the full support of the
principal political parties in the United King-
dom and of the presidents of the House of
Commons and the House of Lords. For
the past eight years,, WRG has been spon-
soring IPT. Mike Snell is a member of the
Executive Committee and has been colla-
borating with IPT for more than 25 years.
During his stay, Dan learned about the wide
range of activities conducted by WRG and
Focsa Services. He also spent some time
in the Luton Waste Recycling Site’s waste
sorting line and accompanied the house-
hold waste collection team in Wiltshire. His
last days at WRG will be dedicated to going
over this issue with WRG at the House of
Commons and he will be given a certifcate
as evidence of his stint at the company.
Mike Snell said, “I want to thank all the co-
lleagues at FCC in the United Kingdom who
worked with Dan during his stay. Everybo-
dy gave their time and contributed their
knowledge with generosity thanks to which
Dan was able to learn a lot”.
WRG is in talks with IPT to plan a shorter
stay for another member of Parliament.
