About WGS Waste

WGS Waste Management is a family-run waste management company delivering professional, transparent and environmentally responsible solutions for businesses across the South East.

Founded in 2013, we’ve grown from a single van into a trusted partner for clinical, hygiene, offensive waste and recycling services — without ever losing the personal approach that defines us.

In this short video, Paul explains how WGS began, what drives the business, and why doing things properly has always mattered to us.

Meet the People Behind WGS

WGS was founded by husband and wife team Paul and Louise Large, bringing together decades of industry experience and a shared belief that waste management should be professional, transparent and personal.

Paul Large
Managing Director

Prior to establishing WGS, Paul enjoyed a varied background in quality and production management and sales including 10 years hands-on experience in the clinical waste sector. After a successful career with Initial, Paul went in to business with Wastegone.com in Manchester and helped grow that company, before leaving and setting up WGS Clinical Services in 2013. From the outset, Paul’s intention was to offer clients an honest, reliable, and flexible service and, as the business has expanded, he still possesses that same can-do, enthusiastic approach.

Our Story

Founded on Experience
WGS Waste Management was founded in 2013 after it became clear there was a need for a more straightforward, reliable and transparent approach to waste services. With Paul’s background in the clinical and waste recycling industry, and Louise’s experience in the beauty and fashion sector — closely linked to clinical practice and hygiene — forming WGS felt like a natural progression.
A Clear Mission from Day One
From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: to offer a one-stop waste management solution that businesses can trust. Professional, compliant and completely transparent — that belief has never changed, even as we’ve grown.
Rooted in the Kent Countryside
Our headquarters sit in the heart of the Kent countryside, midway between Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. Being surrounded by green, open land is a daily reminder of why environmental responsibility sits at the core of what we do.
Where We Are Today
Today, WGS is an expanding business — taking on new staff, creating employment and supporting a growing number of clients. We continue to build long-term relationships by delivering consistent service and representing our customers professionally at all times.
