Harrogate company with 'real momentum' strengthens its leadership team as turnover heads for £20m

An independent Harrogate firm has announced two new appointments to strengthen its senior leadership team as it heads for a £20 million turnover.

The new appointments at recycling brokerage, Clearpoint Recycling, comes at a pivotal time for the business, which is accelerating its growth strategy, especially in its high-performing European operation.

With forecasts of a turnover of more than £20m by the end of 2026, the firm is preparing to deliver on its landmark nine-figure partnership with environmental and plastics recycling company, Enviroo, which will see the production and sale of food-grade rPET at scale.

Neil Campbell brings more than 15 years of senior leadership, C-suite and board-level experience, with a strong commercial track record in business development, revenue growth and strategic expansion.

He has spent the last three years working within the B2B sustainability sector.

In his role as UK and European Sales Director, Neil will lead the company’s UK and European sales strategy, with a focus on building a high-performing European operation, increasing global buying power, and overseeing the sale of 16,000 tonnes of food-grade pellet through the Enviroo partnership.

Neil Campbell said: “Clearpoint is a business in a strong growth phase and that was a key factor in my decision to join.

"It’s dynamic, ambitious, and has a clear opportunity to scale further.”

David Earle joins as Strategic Account Director, bringing more than 35 years of international commercial experience across FMCG and packaging, including senior roles with global organisations such as Unilever, Tetra Pak and SIG Combibloc.

He has extensive expertise in strategic account management, multi-market customer development and complex commercial negotiations.

David’s background includes deep knowledge of recycling systems, packaging legislation and circular economy frameworks.

In his new role, David will focus on securing and developing high-value strategic accounts, building long-term partnerships with major FMCG brands, beverage producers, and packaging manufacturers and supporting customers in transitioning to circular packaging models.

David Earle said, “Clearpoint offers a unique platform to apply my experience in a way that genuinely advances the circular economy."

Both appointments will play a central role in supporting Clearpoint Recycling’s growth plans.
