Key players: The G+T team was led by partner Alastair Corrigall, who was supported by partners Tim Gole, Ben Fuller and lawyer Jill Cooper.
Deal significance: Reflecting on the transaction, Mr Corrigall said: “We were delighted to assist our long-term client CPE Capital in its first investment in the recycling and waste management industry”.
