Stourbridge MP Suzanne Webb has thrown her support behind a Lye recycling company’s £2 million expansion plans.

Pegasus Grab Hire, based in Bott Lane, has grown into a multi-million pound business, with it’s recycling plant becoming a major supplier of aggregate to local construction firms and utility companies.

Founded and led by Anthony Hall, it employs more than 180 people and is now the number one company in the West Midlands for aggregates, grab hire and waste removal.

Pegasus wants to build a mobile wash plant to recycle 99% of all waste received at the facility, which will lead to thirty more jobs – many of them for young people.

The MP said she supported the proposals and she was also impressed with the company’s youth employment programme with 50% of employees under 25.

“Pegasus is a real success story, not just for Lye, but for the whole West Midlands and I am very supportive and very excited to hear about these plans to invest,” she said.

“I think it is a business jewel in the crown for the constituency and I hope these plans for a massive investment in new facilities will come to fruition.”
