Meet the team

Greg started Rabbit back in 1988 with one lorry and five skips, which he drove himself. His background was in engineering and over the years he has applied a logical and energetic approach to the way he has built the business. This approach has certainly paid off because Rabbit Waste Management is now a major player locally in Waste Collection and Recycling, Renewable Energy and Demolition Services.

Whilst the commercial success of the business has always been his goal, he is also very proud of the support that Rabbit Waste Management is able to provide to local communities, sporting teams and charities. Greg says, “I like to think of Rabbit Waste Management as being part of the community,” and hopes people feel the same when they see the Rabbit name.

Although the business has grown substantially since it was first started, Mandy is still passionate about offering the level of service and care that customers expect from a family business and to ensure that all of the staff never lose sight of the company’s roots.

Mandy maintains an active involvement in the pursuit of enhancing the opportunities for both Rabbit Waste Management and other local businesses, as well as for the younger generations. Sitting on various committees, whether it be for businesses or associations that Rabbit Waste Management sponsors and supports, is just one of the many ways that she works to provide such opportunities.

Mandy is very proud of everything she has achieved with Rabbit, saying, “We have built a strong team here at Rabbit and we are all committed to providing the best service we can to our existing and new customers alike.”

As Executive Officer at Rabbit Waste Management, Emma plays a key role in shaping the company’s future, with a particular focus on marketing and strategic development. Since joining the business in November 2020, she has become fully immersed in the world of waste, enjoying learning all aspects of the company and getting stuck in with the team.

Emma brings a fresh perspective from her previous career in Formula 1, combining this experience with a hands-on approach and a strong commitment to collaboration.

As the daughter of Rabbit Waste Management founder Greg Blurton, she’s proud to be part of a family-run business and is committed to keeping the company true to its roots while continuing to move it forward.

“Rabbit has always been part of the family – and part of the community. I want to make sure it stays that way.”

Duncan has several key roles within the business. Not only is he responsible for monitoring all commercial activities and sales, but he oversees the waste processing, sorting and fuel preparation activities, as well as the workshops and maintenance.

Duncan began his career as a mechanical engineering apprentice and now has decades of experience in the waste industry, working for a variety of large waste companies. In 2010 he joined Rabbit Waste Management and says that “it’s been full-on ever since!”

Dave has a wealth of experience, having worked in the waste industry since 1986. Eleven years later he joined Rabbit Waste Management.

As Transport Operations Director Dave oversees a number of different departments within the business, including Transport, Admin, HR, Health Safety and Environment. His role is therefore fundamental to maintaining the efficiency of individual departments to achieve overall success for the business.

Dave enjoys working at Rabbit Waste Management because “there is no such thing as a normal day” and he relishes the challenge that each day brings.

Kerry joined the company in 2017 from one of the large national waste companies. She operates our two weighbridges and is the first point of call for anyone visiting our site. Kerry is very sociable, has a great sense of humour and is popular both with customers and staff alike. Her interests are wining and dining, socialising and Pokémon hunting.

Joe leads operations across the Rabbit Waste Management Group with deep industry experience from Veolia (Newhaven) EFW and Lakeside EFW. He joined Rabbit as a technician and worked his way through the Energy Recovery Facility before becoming Operations Director in 2024. His hands-on background, organised approach, and clear leadership style keep the facility safe, efficient, and fully compliant.

Calum has been part of the team since 2009, building broad expertise across the power plant before stepping into the Operations Manager role in 2019. He’s driven, solutions-minded, and plays a central part in delivering key improvement projects. He thrives under pressure and champions the collaborative spirit of Enviropower, often saying, “Teamwork makes the dream work!”

Having moved to the UK in 2008 from Zimbabwe, Anita joined Rabbit Waste Management at the end of May 2009 as PA to Greg with various administrative responsibilities.

Her role has evolved over time and she started working on the demolition side in 2014, which has shown significant growth over recent years.

Anita enjoys all aspects of her role as it is very varied and interesting and of course she says ‘there is never a dull moment working for Greg’.

Tom has worked in the civil engineering industry since qualifying with a practical degree in 1985.

Since then he has specialised in all types of earthworks and latterly since 2000 in demolition and waste management and qualified to CCDO Demolition Manager level in 2010.
