Metro Bank’s entrepreneurial approach matched Slicker’s philosophy and culture perfectly and therefore was an easy choice to make.”
Slicker Recycling specialises in the collection and recycling of hazardous workshop waste for the automotive, transport and construction industries. With a workforce of over 170, it operates a network of waste transfer stations, depots and processing plants.
