John Gosling, Managing Director
Attended local schools in Portsmouth and went on to Highbury College to Study Construction.
Started my working career in the construction industry by completing an apprenticeship as a carpenter. I very soon on completion of the apprentice went on to be trained in construction management and worked for both Wilcon Homes and Charles Church for some 8 years.
During the recession of the early 90’s my career path changed direction and I joined local waste management company H T Hughes.
H T Hughes was taken over by Leigh Environmental who in turn became Veolia during a 12 year employment I managed and gained experience within their various departments from quarry, Landfill, transport, transfer stations, composting, special projects and recycling centres.
During my time at Veolia, I qualified to Level 4 WAMITAB certificate of competence in Hazardous and clinical waste landfills and Hazardous Transfer Stations and treatment operations. Qualified and became a member of the Institute of leadership and Management
Also undertook qualifications and training within Management of Health and Safety, Safety awareness, Mines and quarries legislation, Management appraisal, Employment Law, Waste related legalisation, Duty of care, Control of substances hazardous to health, Permits to work, Gas monitoring, Advanced waste management, Hazardous Waste Regulations, transport regulations, working time directive regulations.
In 2001 I joined T J as General Manager and was promoted to the board in 2004.
Managing Director
As Managing Director I am involved in the daily management of the company across all disciplines.
My role within the board is to develop suitable strategy to provide a sustainable and growing business.
Personally I get job satisfaction from seeing others working with you grow and flourish within the business by mentoring and training.
My strengths are all born out of past hands on experience within the waste and construction industries, learning for others and certain events
Working within the group enjoyment comes from not having no two days the same as in most businesses there are many challenges and opportunities to keep the job and role very interesting.
I am now in my 21st year in the T J group with hopefully many more to come.
Family man with a wife and two children
Keen sportsman with an interest in running, cycling, swimming and golf.
Have undertaken several events from 5K to ultra-Marathons and several Ironman triathlons with more events planned.
