We were out yesterday with our fantastic client 40 Leadenhall for our quarterly litter pick along the banks of the Thames. Colleagues from both teams came together to support one of our many sustainability and engagement initiatives — taking practical steps to protect the local environment. Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves to keep the city clean! 🌍 🐾 #Sustainability #Partnership #ESG #CommunityEngagement

First Mile teamed up with 40 Leadenhall for a river clean-up along the Thames 🌊 Together we collected around 45kg of waste — from cable ties and wrappers to straws, and even a traffic cone! 🚧 A huge thank you to Andrew Gough and the 40 Leadenhall team for helping organise the clean-up and getting involved on the day. Every small action helps keep our rivers clean and our planet healthy 💙♻️ #RiverClean #ThamesCleanup #PlasticPollution #SustainabilityInAction

🎉 Excitement levels were high last night as our incredible Customer Success team attended the UK National Contact Centre Awards. We were honoured to be shortlisted for two major customer service awards - and proudly received Highly Commended in the Best Contact Centre Culture (Small) category! 🏅✨ Whilst we were the only company from the waste industry at the awards we were up against some stiff competition across the whole UK contact centre industry — and we're proud that our ongoing commitment to outstanding customer support and service excellence has been recognised at such a prestigious event. Georgia Kinyok, our Customer Success Lead "The best thing about our contact centre is the team. Everyone genuinely cares about helping customers and making their experience better every day. That kind of energy is what makes our culture so special, and I'm so proud of the team for all their hard work being recognised at one of the best awards in the industry!" Well done to all the finalists and winners! #amazecustomers #customerexperience #uknationalcontactcentreawards2025
What a brilliant Cyclist of the Quarter! 🚴♂️ Taking a moment to celebrate our amazing team, this time with our cyclists at Camley Street Operations. We marked the occasion with well-earned pizza from Pizza Pilgrims, company updates, and a proper thank you for all their hard work this year. It was great to welcome new cyclists to our ever-growing team, too. Congratulations to all our winners, whose pedal power keeps the First Mile wheels spinning. 👏 #BeOneTeam #Cyclists #Employees
🌞 Sunshine & Street Clean Success! 🧹✨ At Calthorpe Estates, we’re always proud to play our part in keeping our estate looking its best – and this week’s sunshine made it the perfect time to get outside and take action! Joined by RLK Solicitors, Handelsbanken, and First Mile | Certified B Corp we took to the streets with gloves on and litter pickers in hand, working together to care for the spaces we all share in advance of our Edgbaston Village Artisan Market tomorrow on Greenfield Crescent. A huge thank you to everyone who got involved – your time, energy, and community spirit make all the difference.
