Clearpoint Recycling adds finance director

Clearpoint Recycling has appointed Jason Crooks as its new group finance director and as a new member of its board of directors.

In the last 12 months, United Kingdom-based Clearpoint Recycling has expanded its international client base, opened a dedicated sales office in Lithuania and secured new long-term contracts. In addition to the U.K. and Lithuania, the company has trading offices in Ireland and the Netherlands.

Clearpoint says the appointment of Crooks will support its forecast to reach $27 million in sales by 2026 and other growth plans.

“It’s an exciting time to join, and I’m energized by the challenge of helping Clearpoint achieve its goals,” Crooks says.

Crooks has expertise in aligning financial strategy with business operations, improving margins and unlocking new market opportunities.

“Jason’s track record in supporting ambitious, fast-growing businesses makes him a perfect fit for us,” says Clearpoint Managing Director Mark Garrett says. “We’re entering an exciting period of expansion, and his strategic and commercial insight will be invaluable in ensuring we not only meet our financial targets but also enhance our impact in the recycling sector.”

Crooks has more than 14 years of finance experience, including stints at accounting firm BDO and KPMG, followed by roles at IT firm Redcentric and marketing agency IDHL Group.

He will collaborate to help Clearpoint undertake initiatives to expand market position and profitability, strengthen its financial governance and build the infrastructure needed for scalable operations, according to the company.

“Clearpoint Recycling unites purpose and performance, and I’m excited to bring my financial leadership to an ambitious, values-driven team making a real impact in the circular economy,” Crooks says.

Clearpoint works with businesses to source locally and sell globally to reduce waste, recover resources and advance the transition to a circular economy. On its website, the company lists plastics, paper, glass and ferrous and nonferrous metals as materials in which it trades.
