ROMCO Group: Official Q3 2021 Quarterly Report

ROMCO: “Q3, 2021 marks another stellar quarter of consistent growth for the group, with revenue reaching a record-breaking US$9.1 million, and our teams recycling over 5000 metric tonnes for the first time in our history (5257 mt — 220% Q3, 2020).”

That’s the news Romco Group CEO, Raymond Onovwigun, published in Romco’s Q3, 2021 Report released today.

Quarter 3, 2021, broke all the records. Production, revenue, assets, and inputs are all at their highest levels ever. As the global focus drew towards emissions and power usage during the buildup to COP26 in Q3, Romco were dedicated to getting practical results on the ground where it matters. It is clear that non-ferrous metals are not only the most important elements for the green transition, for projects like electric vehicles and grid expansion, but the carbon and power usage in the processing of those metals needs to be drastically cleaned up to meet our global emissions targets. Recycling is the most efficient answer to that problem. Quarter 3 results reflect Romco’s success in working towards that mission.

Romco delivered a 233% increase in revenue in just twelve months, earning over the $9 million threshold for the first time. Production increased 220% from Q3, 2020, and saw over 5000 metric tonnes processed (5257mt). “I’ve said it before, but there really is much more to come. Significant opportunities in capital efficiencies, new site exploration, and trade cycle streamlining are on the horizon for Q4, 2020 and Q1, 2022.” Raymond Onovwigun said.

One of Romco’s values is sustainability — that growth should be supported by sustainable principles. Authentic ESG is not just about building our own business, but investing powerfully in the local economy to encourage sustainable practices in the region. Q3, 2021 saw £3,798,281 deployed to over 100 suppliers in the innovative Small Business Buying Program over the past 12 months. The initiative is a significant bid to bolster the circular economy in the regions where it lacks, building the recycling infrastructure and creating 100’s of indirect jobs.

Godwin adds prominent Uttoxeter site to growing commercial portfolio

UK property developer Godwin Developments has secured a prime site in Uttoxeter which it intends to transform into a brand-new commercial development for the Staffordshire market town.

The Brookside Road site is opposite Uttoxeter railway station which is used by over 165,000 people every year. With an estimated population of 20,000 also living within a three-mile radius and a high daily traffic count, the development will be well-placed to serve the local community, as well as commuters from the wider West Midlands region.

The land – located near a brand-new 22,873 sq. ft. Lidl supermarket in Town Meadows Way that opened in October 2021 – is very well suited to a range of coffee, food-to-go and fast food operators and has the potential to create new jobs locally as well as deliver additional choice to residents, shoppers and passing traffic. Demand for takeaways and drive-thru restaurants has rapidly increased and was the fastest growing sector in the first half of 2021, providing convenience to consumers to access their favourite offerings.

Nikesh Solanki, Development Manager at Godwin Developments, said: “We are thrilled to have secured this prominent site in Uttoxeter and we are looking forward to transforming it into a new commercial development.

“Sitting opposite Uttoxeter railway station and near the A518 – which connects Uttoxeter to Telford, in Shropshire, via Stafford and Newport – the site benefits from a busy and highly visible location, providing the perfect spot for a commercial operator to reach not just local customers but also those from further afield.”

Law firm Shakespeare Martineau provided legal advice on the deal, while commercial property consultancy Rushton Hickman acted as land agents.

The Uttoxeter site is the latest to be added to Godwin Developments’ fast growing national portfolio, which contains a diverse range of commercial, residential, and mixed-use property assets in key locations nationwide.
