Anglian is East Anglia’s multi-service contractor — demolition, asbestos removal, scaffolding, earthworks and remediation — feeding its own 10-acre licensed waste and metal recycling facility in Attleborough, Norfolk.

Founded in 2007 as a demolition and asbestos specialist, Anglian has grown into a full-lifecycle partner for site redevelopment across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex — clearing, remediating and preparing land for national contractors, housebuilders and councils, then recycling what comes out of it.

Its licensed 10-acre yard at Attleborough is permitted to accept 75,000 tonnes of waste a year and recycles more than 20,000 tonnes of ferrous and non-ferrous metals annually. Skip, roll-on/roll-off and commercial bin collections serve businesses from Castle Quarter in Norwich to Snetterton Circuit, and the company diverts all collected waste from landfill.

Anglian was the first business to join AcqWaste, in January 2026, and has already integrated LW Skips of Cannock — unifying finance, HR and reporting and opening its specialist services to LW’s customers. It anchors the group’s East & Midlands cluster.
