Waste giant Biffa said it has been performing in line with management expectations in the second half of fiscal 2022 and that net revenue for the first 11 months of the financial year rose significantly.
The company, which operates waste collection services in Cannock, South Staffordshire and Stafford, said net revenue for the first 11 months of the year ending March 25 were around 35 per cent higher than a year earlier and around 20 higher higher than in fiscal 2020.
