Meet Jack Connors, Leading Powerday National Forward

Jack Connors joined us at the end of last year to lead our new National service. He brings a strong track record in building and scaling national waste operations, with 13 years’ experience in the waste and recycling sector.

Jack joined the Powerday team from Greenzone Facilities Management Ltd, where he most recently served as chief operating officer.

We had a chat about his role at Powerday and what he’s looking forward to.

I’ve spent over ten years in the waste sector, working with clients across healthcare, defense, transport and logistics, hospitality and leisure, retail, FM and government agencies. I started out in customer service, learned the industry from the ground up, and moved through account management and operations before becoming COO at Greenzone, a national waste brokerage.

As COO, I had oversight of customer service, our national supply chain, national account management, and a lot of the IT and systems improvements that helped the business run better. I was responsible for P&L performance, commercial strategy, service delivery and compliance, including SHEQ. I also worked closely with our supplier partners and handled contract negotiations, always looking for practical ways to improve how we operated day-to-day.

Powerday National is our way of offering true total waste management anywhere in the UK, across any waste type. Where we can’t self deliver, we act as a trusted broker, using a vetted, high performing supply chain that operates to Powerday’s standards.

It means our clients get one point of contact, one set of expectations, and the same level of quality whether they’re working in London, Liverpool or anywhere in
between.

Strategically, it allows us to support national customers properly, compete for larger multi-site contracts and bring consistency to a market that’s often fragmented. For us, it’s the next step in delivering the kind of service our clients already expect from Powerday, just on a national scale.

Powerday National gives us the scale and consistency to support larger, more complex clients who need a joined up service across multiple regions. It opens doors to new markets, new waste streams and industries that were previously harder for us to reach without a national model.

It also strengthens our overall offer as a business, allowing us to build a more reliable national supply chain, streamline the way we work and broaden the services we provide. That includes things like wheelie bin collections, confidential waste destruction, washroom services, and other total waste management solutions that make life easier for our customers. In short, it creates genuine commercial growth, built on a stronger, more flexible service model.

What excites me most is the chance to build something that feels genuinely new for Powerday; a national service that’s scalable, tech driven and still true to the way we like to work. I’m already deep into a few key projects: setting up national processes, strengthening our supply chain, improving reporting and visibility, and making sure we’re using the right technology that supports growth at scale.

For me, success this year is simple: consistent service, strong supplier performance, clear systems, and a team that feels confident and supported. If we get those things right, the growth will naturally follow.
