The acquisition will see Enva Northern Ireland Limited (Company House number NI017996) take over the collection and processing of waste oil from Thompson’s customer base with effect from 30 April. The acquisition does not include Thompson’s site, collection or processing assets.

The waste oil resulting from the region’s shipping and automotive industries, together with oily residues and contaminated waters from a range of commercial and industrial services activities, will be processed at Enva’s Drumaness facility where the oil is recycled into a product used in the manufacture of asphalt and the residues and waters are treated, and then disposed of or recovered in line with best practice.

For an initial period, the business will continue to be operated at Thompson’s site before being moved by Enva to its Drumaness site which is being redeveloped to meet the increase in throughput as part of its continued investment in Northern Ireland. The transfer of the business completes on 31 August 2021.
