We’re absolutely thrilled to share that Megan Rimmer has officially passed her apprenticeship, and not only that, she’s done it in incredible style:
🎓1 of just 20 in the country to achieve this qualification
🎓2 of 4 to pass first time on her tutor’s course
🎓Now a fully qualified Multi-Channel Marketer
From starting with us just a few hours on a Friday, to completing her apprenticeship, and now becoming a full-time Marketing Executive working across 5 businesses, Megan’s journey is nothing short of inspiring!
“It’s been an absolute privilege to mentor Megan through her apprenticeship and watch her growth, both personally and professionally. Supporting someone at the very start of their career and seeing them flourish into a confident, capable marketer has been one of the most rewarding parts of my role. We couldn’t be prouder of everything she’s achieved.” – Philippa Sherrell Communications Director
At such a young age (not that age matters!), Megan is already making a huge impact, and we’re so excited to see where her future takes her.
Well done Megan – this is so well deserved! 👏

We’re delighted to share that we have successfully passed our annual audit with the British Assessment Bureau for:
👉 ISO 9001 – Quality Management
👉 ISO 45001 – Health & Safety
👉 ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
This annual audit covered Recycle it Global Ltd and RIG Scorrier Ltd and for the first time, RIG Newquay Ltd was also brought into scope.
We’re proud to say that Newquay passed with flying colours, showing that the high standards we set from the very beginning are maintained as we continue to grow and bring new acquisitions into the RIG family.
Even more impressively, this marks our second consecutive year with zero minor or major non-conformities, a rare achievement and a testament to the strength of our compliance and processes.
For those unfamiliar, ISO certifications are internationally recognised standards that demonstrate a company’s commitment to quality, health & safety, and environmental management. They provide assurance to our customers, partners, and stakeholders that we operate responsibly, consistently, and to the very highest standards.
A huge thank you to our team for making this possible. This result reflects not only their hard work but also our ongoing commitment to excellence and sustainability in everything we do.
Great work, team!
