Recycling firm SWM will celebrate
60 Years serving North
Devon on 14 July 2019. Started
in 1959 by Ray and Vashtie
Penford, or Mr and Mrs P as
they were commonly known,
R Penfold and Son went on to
become South Molton Metals.
In 2002, SWM was incorporated
to accommodate
the growing demand for
integrated waste management
systems, which have enabled
more waste streams to be
processed and transformed
into useful resources. In 2011,
everything was brought under
the SWM and Waste Recycling
banner to reflect the growing
regional presence.
Today, the company is
jointly owned by Ray and
Vashtie’s son Raymond and
nephew Shawn Akers, who are
proud of the local employment
the business offers and its wide
range of services.

director of Exeter Airport, said:
“We are delighted to be in the
top tier of UK airports and to
have achieved the gold standard
for the quality of service
that we provide to disabled and
less mobile passengers.
“It is a testament to the hard
work and dedication of our
staff and we are committed
to providing the best possible
experience for anyone in the
community who requires
assistance when travelling.”

Waste firm celebrates
60 years of service
During its 60 years, the
company has faced many
challenges. More recently these
have included environmental
demands and sustainable waste
solutions. SWM has continued

bringing about new initiatives
that have helped many North

compliance criteria.

rooted in scrap metal recycling,
SWM has become a
leading provider of integrated
waste management services in
the South West, with a growing
blue chip client list and stateof-the-art
recycling facilities.
The company planned
to mark the occasion with a
companywide fun day and
BBQ at its Roundswell headquarters
in July.
