Daniel Robert Moczynski

Facing an unsustainably high turnover of 57% in a waste management and haulage business, Daniel implemented an evidence-based retention strategy. By strengthening leadership capability and onboarding, he reduced turnover to 27% in one year, saving the organisation over £490,000. He also launched a pioneering apprenticeship and newly qualified driver program in Scotland and the North East, addressing structural skills shortages. These initiatives created a more resilient talent pipeline, where 20% of new starters joined through these new pathways. Daniel’s leadership was vital in supporting the company's £7.9m EBITDA for the year.
