Background & History

Glanville Environmental has been trading for nearly 30 years, but its origins are very different to the company that you find today!

The business first operated as a one man business, with the founder David Glanville utilising a single tractor and tanker working locally within a 15 mile radius of Plymouth. The first tanker lorry was bought five years after the business was established which allowed the company to broaden its working perimeter and to empty septic tanks. As the business expanded, David was able to purchase his second lorry and the number of lorries and employees grew.

The business was incorporated as Glanville Cleansing Ltd. in 2000 and purchased its own High Pressure Jetting equipment. This facilitated further company growth, opening up several new markets including the utility and rail industries.

Responding to the increasing number of customer requests for groundworks, construction and pipe systems repair and installations, a construction division was established in 2001. This flourishing division has expanded rapidly and complements the company's waste management services.

Today Glanville Environmental offer a unique 'one stop shop' solution covering the whole of the South West region; operating from coast to coast, stretching all the way from Lands End to Swindon. In addition to its thousands of private customers, Glanville Environmental are also approved contractors with South West Highways, South West Water, Wessex Water, The Environment Agency and numerous construction companies throughout Southern and South West England.

A waste treatment works at Lee Mill has recently been acquired by our sister company Environmental Recycling Centre Ltd., in order that Glanville Environmental can treat waste in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner. These works  also act as an additional location to keep our lorries and tankers which not only lessen the concentration of traffic in the West Devon area but also allow us to be more response and efficient. Additionally the treatment works allow us to conserve fuel and save time and consequently we plan to extend them further in the future.

"A third depot has recently been opened near Bridgwater, allowing us to widen our operational area and become a more environmental and community friendly company, and we have now taken the next step in our development by changing our trading name to Glanville Environmental, which I feel more accurately reflects the breadth and depth of services that we offer today".
