About us

Founded in 1987, Kenburn has an established reputation as being a leading UK supplier of waste compactors, balers and other waste equipment.  In its 30th anniversary year, Kenburn was acquired by an Employee Ownership Trust and is proud to be owned and managed by its employees.  

For Kenburn, Employee ownership means that everyone in the business is focused on the financial success of the company and the service we deliver to our customers. 

We care - about our business, our customers and our people.  Research shows that Employee owned businesses typically achieve higher productivity,  are move innovative and resilient to economic turbulence. They also have more engaged, more fulfilled and less stressed workforces.

The Kenburn Employee Ownership Trust has appointed four Trustees to serve the long-term interests of the company and its employees. Former owners Barry Walsh and David Hall have been appointed as Trustees, continuing to lend their help and assistance to the company, whilst Director Gail Foxcroft and a representative of Landers Accountants Limited also serve as Trustees.

Kenburn is pleased to be a member of the Employee Ownership Association. The EOA is a not for profit and politically independent organisation that works in close partnership with its members to champion, promote and provide insight into the business case for employee ownership.

We believe that our membership of the EAO will help us to share best practice and maximise the value of our employee ownernship status.
